Look at that long nose and those sharp
claws. They use their claws and snouts for digging in leaf litter,
under rotted trees and stones for insects, small reptiles and
larvae. They'll also wade in to shallow streams looking for
freshwater crabs. Shrek was captive born and an owner give up in
2005, but wild Cusimanses can be found in the swamplands and forests
of central and western Africa, and in the countries of Ghana, Ivory
Coast, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. Shrek is very vocal and sounds
like a squeaky wheel. Participants are allowed to pet his coarse
fur, but only AFA handlers may handle him. He's a truly unique
animal and a cutie pie to boot.
