Villa's Gray Shrew (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Villa's Gray Shrew (Notiosorex villa) is a shrew native to North America. In its native northeastern Mexico, it is called "Una Musarana." A shrew or shrew mouse (family Soricidae) is a small mammal classified in the order Soricomorpha. True shrews are also not to be confused with West Indies shrews, treeshrews, otter shrews, or elephant shrews, which belong to different families or orders. Although its external appearance is generally that of a long-nosed mouse, a shrew is not a rodent, as mice are, and not closely related to rodents. Shrews have sharp, spike-like teeth, not the familiar gnawing front incisor teeth of rodents.
