About the Pygmy Musk Shrew
The pygmy musk shrew is one of Africa's smallest mammals and is a tiny, insect-eating shrew associated with grassland, woodland, savanna and areas of dense ground cover. It has a pointed snout, tiny eyes, short legs and a small compact body. It feeds primarily on insects and other small invertebrates and is highly active while searching through vegetation and leaf litter. Its small size and secretive habits make it difficult to observe in the wild.
How to identify the Pygmy Musk Shrew
Extremely small shrew with a pointed snout, tiny eyes and ears, short legs and a slender body. Usually greyish-brown above with a paler underside and a relatively short tail.
