Top Tweets for #WaterShrew
I’ve been working in an old lined notebook. Determined not to be precious with it but now I’m pleased with them, the pressure has built & I found myself fearful of spoiling the page again! #mycreativeweek #watershrew
I have 3 different mini-mammals visiting my hedgehog box, instead of hedgehogs! A #WaterShrew a #WoodMouse & a #BankVole & all seem to tolerate each other at a distance 😆 #smallmammals #TwitterNatureCommunity #mammals #wildlife #bbcSpringWatch #nature
More unexpected #wildlife, this time a #WaterShrew. That's another #mammal record for the @greatfen and #RamseyHeightsNatureReserve is this case; this was while @wildlifebcn surveying for #GreatCrestedNewts. Also heard my first #cuckoo of the year, have you heard yours?
Did you see the #watershrew on #WildIsles? Incredible show again, highlighting this marvellous mammal!

The cameras Henry @NaturetasticWH and I checked at the @GreatFen recorded a third species of small #mammal. As you can see from this clip, it's not the #WaterShrew or #WoodMouse we have seen in my other tweets; compare all three clips. Watch its behaviour and guess what is it?
The elusive #watershrew is an incredible aquatic hunter. Here is a sneak preview from our new #freshwater #wildlife book (coming soon!)...

#WildlifeWednesday: River Species
The #watershrew (Neomys fodiens) is well adapted to an aquatic lifestyle, with a waterproof coat of short fur, and ears that can close in the water.
They can dive to depths of over 70cm, and hunt underwater as well as on land.

One of our volunteers shared this amazing water shrew cat rescue! Glad someone was there to save this little guy or gal. #WaterShrew
Today is #EarthDay2022 🌍
At the Mammal Society we aim to help conserve the Earth's wildlife, large and small, for future generations to see 💚
Here's a fine example of an amazing mammal caught on camera by Christoper Wren 📸

Shrews are no rodents and resemble mice only through independent evolution. The 2 European #watershrew species produce a venom in glands under the tongue. The #toxin BLTX is derived from the enzyme kallikrein, occuring independently even in other animals as Mexican beaded lizards
The fantastic Ecologist Will Watson found this Water Shrew dead at Docklow Manor recently. It's a good find as they are rarely seen. Also in life they have a venomous bite! @Mammal_Society @clan_cic @HeritageFundUK

Was doing some #OwlPellet dissecting on Denholm Green as part of Friday Fun session @RuberslawCofS has started running after school (there’s craft activities too) & found this #WaterShrew skull. They’re pretty uncommon in pellets with Common & Pygmy #Shrews showing up more often.
Sometimes you just know it’s gonna be a #luckyday . Today we know it because we found a #watershrew ❤️
@dechmannlab @MPI_animalbehav @S__araneus #shrewcrew
One curious thing is that the many Victoria-based nature lovers blockading #FairyCreek could champion at risk species like #northernredleggedfrog #marbledmurrelet #watershrew close to home, but don't. Maybe this is about something else? #bcpoli
