💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐭❄️ Researchers studying long-clawed #shrew skulls from #Hokkaido found that while the #skull shrinks in #winter, the snout grows larger and wider, the reverse of a known seasonal shrinking pattern.

The expanded nasal cavity may warm freezing #air before it reaches the #brain, keep scent detection sharp, or both. The changes appear reversible and may occur in other shrew species.

Thought I saw a mouse in my house and bought some animal friendly traps, two hours later one of the traps loaded with peanut butter caught a shrew 😋

What an adorable little critter 🥰

Whilst working in the back garden a few weeks ago doing some strimming and pruning of branches I thought I noticed something in the grass.

Turns out it was this little fella. Haven’t seen a shrew since as long as I can remember

Blind mole-rats spend most of their life underground. Inaccessible to birds of prey, but not to ploughs. How can we protect this invisible mammal?

Come to the first Small Mammal Conservation Conference and discuss this issue with fellow mammal lovers.

🐭🧠 The common #shrew is a tiny #vertebrate with a bizarre survival strategy called Dehnel’s phenomenon. To save #energy during lean #winter months, these #animals physically shrink their skulls and #brains, only to regrow them when #spring arrives.

In Southern #Ethiopia a small #shrew was found in the bottom of a pitfall trap. The tiny #mammal was analyzed being new to science and representing a #newspecies. It indicates that the #biodiversity is far away from being well explored and that not only microscopic invertebrates, but even very small mammals are still to discover. #Biodiversityresearch is important for an understanding of our environments in times of #globalwarming.

Bestial Human Shrew
Hand drawn Ink art by William McAusland, writing by Colin Chapman
Although small and rodentine in appearance, bestial human shrews are actually fierce, voracious and hyperactive omnivores armed with a mouthful of sharp teeth, poisonous saliva (Type A, paralysis), and a decided preference for meat.
