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

Amandla etyhefu yokuluma nokuhlaba

Ukuluma

Ityhefu iphuma ngamazinyo aso etyhefu okanye ngamazinyo aso xa siluma.

Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?

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

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: KuthambileNjengokuhlatywa yinyosi okanye ngaphantsi. Phantse asinangozi ebantwini.

Its bites are painful to people who try to handle it.1

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

Its scent glands produce a musky odour that deters mammalian carnivores.1

Ukuba siyaluma

Hlamba inxeba kakuhle kwaye ufumane uncedo lwezonyango.

Soloko utsalela inombolo kaxakeka kuqala (112, 000, 911). Esi sisikhokelo soncedo lokuqala ngokubanzi, asilocebiso lwezonyango. Iziseko zoncedo lokuqala

Hlala ukhuselekile

Ungaze uchukumise, ubambe okanye uqhule isilwanyana sasendle, nokuba sincinci, kwaye nokuba sibonakala silele okanye sifile.
Sinike indawo. Ukuba udibana naso, hlala uzolile, buyela umva kancinci kwaye usiyeke sihambe ngendlela yaso.
Ukuba siyakuluma: hlala uzolile, musa ukushukuma, tsalela inombolo kaxakeka (112, 000, 911) okanye uye esibhedlele ngokukhawuleza. Khumbula ukuba sasikhangeleka njani, ifoto iyanceda.

Asikuzingeli. Sisebenzisa ityhefu yaso ukubamba ukutya okanye ukuzikhusela, kwaye singakhetha ukuzimela. Okungakumbi malunga nokuhlala ukhuselekile

kufanelekile ukwazi

Iinyaniso

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
