Banc d'Arguin National Park as grey heron ("Ardea cinerea monicae") and Eurasian spoonbill ("Platalea leucorodia balsaci") and western reef heron ("Egretta gularis") (IUCN, 1987). For marine mammals, endangered species can be seen here all-year round; for example, Mediterranean monk seals, Atlantic humpback dolphins and bottlenose dolphins. Other species can be seen here are orca, the killer whales, pilot whales, Risso's dolphins, dolphins (common, rough-toothed). Fin whales and harbor porpoises are also known to visit the area. Possibly, highly coastal whale species such as North Atlantic right whales, now-extinct Atlantic gray whales were used to be seen here as well. Other baleen whales possibly occur
Greater white-toothed shrew and other small carnivorous mammals such as weasels are the main predators of "C. russula". In order to avoid predation, the greater white-toothed shrews can be found undercover of vegetation or leaf litter when active. Cryptic coloration is also used as an effective method to avoid predation. The greater white-toothed shrews are classified as semi-social mammals. During winter, "C. russula" are found sharing nests and enter torpor. Mated pairs are found guarding their territories together. "C. russula" are highly monogamous and exhibit a female-biased dispersal, which is highly uncommon in mammals. This dispersal pattern can also occur due to infiltration
