This handout photo obtained from Global Wildlife Conservation on August 14, 2020 and taken in February 2019 at the field site Assamo in the Republic of Djibouti by Richard Heritage/Duke University Lemur Center shows the first-ever photo of a live Somali Sengi or Somali elephant shrew, one of the 25 most wanted lost species, for scientific documentation. For half a century, many believed the Somali Sengi to be lost. But the tiny, proboscis-nosed mammal lived quietly away from humans in rocky areas of the Horn of Africa, scientists said on August 18, 2020.
