The Four toed elephant shrew, also known as the Petrodromus Tetradactylus are mostly active during the day and dusk. During the night or midday, they are less active. They walk on four legs, therefore they are not bipedal. When the four toed elephant shrew runs, their tail points upwards and also make a noise through their hind feet. Ants react towards this sound which helps the elephant shrews to locate their prey. The four toed elephant shrew is always alert. When they fight, they fight in pairs with the same genders, usually females against females and males against males. They fight a "boxing" motion. They rise on their rear legs and box with their front ones and tackle one another. Four toed elephant shrews have a good sense of sight, smell and hearing, however, their vocals are not well developed. When they are in captivity they make different kinds of sounds. Either they will scream, or make purring or clucking sounds for help.
