Nope
Very..sorry..seem feet are very very little..
Crazy.
The shrew hasn’t been trapped or recorded in two decades, Subramanyan told SFGATE: “So it’s very possibly one of the most poorly known mammal species in California.”
There’s a reason why nobody had photographed a living Mount Lyell shrew. Shrews have incredibly fast metabolisms and will die if they don’t eat every two hours, Subramanyan said. To catch a living shrew, researchers need to monitor their traps constantly. If mammalogists set an overnight trap, they’ll wake in the morning to find a dead shrew. Jain, Forbes and Subramanyan slept for no longer than two hours at a time, checking the traps regularly. At night, temperatures reached 15 degrees.
'The Mount Lyell shrew (Sorex lyelli) is 9 to 10 centimeters long and weighs between 2 and 3 grams, according to the researchers' measurements.'
...really? That's insanely light for such a long body.
Probably mostly tail
