The northern short-tailed shrew is a small, very active mammal that lives in eastern and central North America. It is one of the few venomous mammals, and it uses venom in its saliva to paralyse the animals it hunts. It is also a voracious eater that can eat up to three times its own weight in food each day.1

It lives in grasslands, old fields, fencerows, marshy areas, and deciduous and coniferous forests, and it also uses household gardens. It prefers places that are moist, with leaf litter or thick plant cover. It tunnels below ground, through leaf litter, or at the boundary between snow and ground.1

It is mostly carnivorous and prefers insects such as beetles, earthworms, voles, snails, and other shrews. It also eats salamanders, frogs, snakes, birds, and mice, and it mostly hunts within a few hours after sunset. It often hoards food, storing about 87% of the prey it catches.1

Chefo ya yona (eo e e kenyang ka ho loma kapa ho hlaba) e etsang?

Its saliva contains a kallikrein-like protease, a toxin that paralyses and subdues prey. The toxin is strong enough to kill small animals, including some somewhat larger than the shrew itself. In people, it causes painful bites when they handle the shrew.1

Dintlha

It is one of the few venomous mammals, and its saliva is used to subdue prey.1

It can eat up to three times its own weight in food each day.1

It is thought to have a poor sense of smell and very limited vision, so it uses echolocation and a fine sense of touch instead.1

Its winter food intake is 43% higher than in summer, because it must work harder to keep its body warm.1

Its nests can be up to 20 cm across and lined with leaves or vole fur, and its waste is kept in a separate latrine area.1
