Shrew Visitor

Shrew Visitor

This tiny shrew came into the house this afternoon. We weren’t sure what it was (mouse? mole?), but easily caught it in a tupperware container. I took him outside, added some dirt and had a quick photoshoot before releasing him in the far end of the back yard.

I’ve since learned he’s a shrew (not sure which kind). They’re not related at all to mice, they’re insectivores not rodents. And they won’t dig up our lawn like the moles do.
