💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🦎🇪🇬 #Ancient Egyptians carefully wrapped and sealed #animal #mummies including #ibises, #falcons, #snakes, #fish, #shrews, and a 2-meter-long #crocodile.

Researchers at the British #Museum used X-ray equipment and CT scanners to see through the fragile wrappings without touching them.

the common descent podcast did an episode on shrews recently. There are some pictures at the episode page, including both living and fossil shrews.

also: check out how weird shrew skulls and necks can be:

NEW EUROPEAN RECORD 🎉

We were able to detect the Pygmy Shrews (Sorex minutus) in the high #alpine up to 3,300 m a.s.l. in #SouthTyrol #Italy, 780 metres higher than known before 🐁

New short note in #Hystrix (w/ #ChiaraPaniccia & @Eliag from https://bsky.app/profile/euracalpenv.bsky.social )

My lovely #Science peeps!

Not enough characters to go into detail, but ...

In 2014, #Dutch scientists left a #hamster wheel outside, to see if wild animals would use it like their domesticated counterparts.

Did they? Oh, YES! Wild #mice, #rats, #shrews, #slugs, even #frogs & #snails *

Why? Apparently for FUN! 😄

(#Fun defined as getting on, off, then willingly getting back on.)

*Snails were disqualified b/c they couldn't slime in a straight line 😳

Patreon backers have early access to one of the most eye-opening case files in all our seven years of investigating. Gus and Oliver had me do a lot of research for them about #shrews to wrap this case up. https://www.patreon.com/posts/93214888 #cats #mysteries #science

In late 2022 a new land mammal was found in Great Britain, the Greater white-toothed shrew. No-one is sure how it got here, but they are an established and damaging invasive in Ireland so finding out more about their range in GB is vital.

The UK Mammal Society has set up Searching For Shrews to monitor and find out more about this species:

The story of how it was found is here -https://www.mammal.org.uk/2022/10/the-naming-of-the-shrew-greater-white-toothed-shrew-now-discovered-in-britain/
