<span class="mw-page-title-main">Pacific shrew</span> Species of mammal

The Pacific shrew is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae. It is endemic to western Oregon in the United States. The Pacific Shrew is native to western Oregon, more specifically from the Siltcoos lake to the coast going from the border line of Douglas and Lane counties continuing south to the northern parts of California. The first documented Pacific shrew to be caught was found at the mouth of the Umpqua River in 1858. They are normally found in damp areas along creeks in forests and sometimes near collapsed trees. Their refuge is of the utmost importance and they are seldom found far from it. This includes collapsed trees or dense vegetation. They use the flora to build a nest, gathering small plants such as grass, moss, lichen, or leaves into a pile and pushing themselves into the middle.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Shinto shrew</span> Species of mammal

The Shinto shrew is a species of shrew of the genus Sorex that lives only on the islands of Japan. It is a mole-like mammal with a pointed snout, very small ears, and a relatively long tail. Like most shrews, it is tiny, has poor eyesight, and a very good sense of hearing and smell which it uses to locate its prey, mainly insects.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Inyo shrew</span> Species of mammal from the western United States

The Inyo shrew is a species of shrew found in the western United States. Not much is known about its behavioral and reproductive habits. It is small, very similar in appearance to the related dwarf shrew, but smaller and paler. It can be found in many different habitats, from rocky, mountainous regions to wetlands and riparian areas. While barely studied, their population is believed to be stable and not under any threat.
