Additional Information on Shrews. The shrew is a small, mouse-sized mammal with an elongated snout, a dense fur of uniform color, small eyes, and five clawed toes on each foot (Fig. 1). Its skull, compared to that of rodents, is long, narrow, and lacks the zygomatic arch on the lateral side characteristic of rodents.
Shrews are smaller than moles, about the size of a small mouse, and their feet are not quite as large as a mole's either. Like a mole, the shrew's feet tend to be a bit paddle like in shape but compared to their body size, are closer in proportion to that of a mouse. Like the vole, shrews will utilize tunnels created by other wildlife such as moles or voles. Shrew's will venture above ground for food on occasion, whereas moles seldom do.
