Topic: Shrew mole

	MSN Encarta - Shrew
		Shrew, common name applied to certain small mouselike mammals, related to the mole, with a long, pointed snout and soft, gray-brown, velvety fur.
		Shrews are active, nocturnal animals that feed primarily on insects and worms but also eat mice equal to their own size, as well as plants and occasionally fish and other aquatic animals.
		The short-tailed shrew known as the mole shrew, the most common shrew in the eastern United States, is about 11.4 cm (about 4.5 in) long.

	MSN Encarta - Mole (mammal)
		The typical mole of the eastern United States is the eastern, or garden, mole, which is 12 to 21 cm (5 to 8 in) long, of which 2 to 4 cm (.8 to 1.6 in) is naked tail.
		The star-nosed mole has on its snout a star-shaped projection composed of 22 rays that are used to sense its environment; there is some evidence that the rays can detect the low-level electrical fields of earthworms in the mole's wet habitat.
		The eastern mole is classified as Scalopus aquaticus, the western mole as Scapanus townsendii, the hairy-tailed mole as Parascalops breweri, the star-nosed mole as Condylura cristata, and the shrew mole as Neurotrichus gibbsii.

		Moles are trapped as pests, although they probably do less damage than the animals they destroy, and for their fur, which is highly valued.
		Moles have short, powerful legs and extremely broad front feet, which are used as shovels and are equipped with enormous digging claws.
		This mole is a good diver and leads a semiaquatic life; apparently it uses the protuberances to pick up sounds in the water.

	Shrew mole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Shrew moles or Uropsilinae are one of three subfamilies of the mole family Talpidae, the others being the Talpinae and the Desmans or Desmaninae.
		This subfamily consists of four species in genus Uropsilus which are found in forested or alpine regions in China.
		The two species in genus Urotrichus, found in Japan, and the American Shrew Mole, Neurotrichus gibbsii, are also known as shrew moles because of their shrew-like appearance, but are grouped in subfamily Talpinae.

	The Shrew
		In many places, shrews are among our most common mammals but they are so shy and secretive, so small and lightning-fast, that few people ever get a good look at one.
		The latter group includes the Pigmy Shrew and the Least Shrew which are scarcely 3 inches long and the smallest of all mammals.
		The shrew, like the skunk, has anal glands by means of which it can emit an unpleasant musky odor which repels many of its enemies.

		Habitat: The European mole is an adaptable species and is present in most habitats where the soil is sufficiently deep to allow tunnel construction.
		Ecology and behaviour: The European mole is specialised to a fossorial life, constructing a permanent series of tunnels in which the animal may spend its entire lifetime.
