Sorex_coronatus- not a mouse

Found this little fellow in the workshop in back in France, so I had to catch him before Ronnie the cat did.

What a beautiful creature! With workshop, do you mean like a garden house? Posted 9 years ago

  No, workshop where Chris repairs gearboxes and I crawl under Landrovers. I put some small, slightly crushed snails and a dead fly in a flowerpot to catch him.
  Here we get different wildlife in the workshop, a giant moth that I still have to ID roughly, a scorpion spider and many green lizards. Oh, and the odd tarantula:) Posted 9 years ago

Brilliant find. Reminds me a little of our Antechinus Posted 9 years ago

The Crowned shrew

The crowned shrew or Millet's shrew is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae. It is found in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Liechtenstein, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, and the British island of Jersey. It is almost indistinguishable from the Common Shrew, its habitatal preferences and habits are identical. However it has a different karyotype, is slightly smaller, and has small morphological differences, such as a longer rostrum relative to length of skull.
