Tail of the Eastern Rock Sengi is relatively long at ¢.110% of head-body length, pinnae are broad and upright, and snout is long, thin, and flexible. Dorsum is buff-gray, with dark gray hair tips. Lateral pelage is paler, and fewer hairs have dark gray tips. Colors of dorsal head and face are similar to dorsal body. White eye-ring is present, without intruding post-ocular patch. Venter is off-white or pale gray. Behind each ear, patch of buff hair extends onto nape of neck; it can be more conspicuous on individuals from northern parts of the distribution. Long pale hairs grow along anterior margin of each pinna, but otherwise pinnae are nearly hairless. Sparse hair covers tail, darker above than below. There is no tail tuft. Skin of plantar pes is black. Females have two anterior, two intermediate, and two posterior nipples; males have no nipples. Five digits are present on each manus and pes. Pectoral gland is absent, and subcaudal gland is present. Dental formula is I 3/3, C1/1,P 4/4, M 2/2 (x2) = 40. Canine sizes are subequal to adjacent teeth. Several bilateral pairs of palatal foramina are present. Postorbital processes are absent. Karyotype is 2n = 30.</paragraph>

Insects, mainly ants and termites, are the principal diet of the Eastern Rock Sengi. Other small invertebrates and limited plant material are eaten. Foraging occurs from covered areas, with rapid emergence to seize prey. Larger insects (e.g. grasshoppers) are carried back to cover for ingestion; this is probably a risk sensitive behavior.

The Eastern Rock Sengi is monogamous, and pairs mate forlife. In South Africa, births occur in September—March, corresponding with the warm, wet season. Male sperm are viable year-round, buttestes size and sperm count drop significantly when reproduction pauses during the cool season. Females can produce up to 89 ova per ovary per cycle, but limited uterus implantation sites constrain litter size. In Botswana and South Africa,litters have 1-2 young. Young are born with open eyes, fully furred, and highly precocial. Mothersvisit young infrequently for nursing, and there is no direct paternal care. Young females become sexually mature at 35-42 days. No species of soft-furred sengis use nests to shelter or for rearing their young.

Home ranges of monogamous pairs overlap, but combined area has limited overlap with home ranges of neighboring pairs. Males and females of a pair infrequently interact except during estrus. If a male disappears, a neighboring male might engage in temporary polygyny during the vacancy. One study found that average home ranges were ¢.0-3 ha for males and c.0-2 ha for females, and maximum home range of males was c.1-3 ha. Monogamous mating system is probably a mate-guarding strategy. Limited home range overlap with neighboring pairs might indicate territoriality or at least mutual avoidance.
