Examples
“Of particular interest⟳ is the Etruscan shrew (Suncus etruscus), the smallest living mammal, whose adult body mass averages no more than 2 g.”
“Not much is known about the habits of the Etruscan shrew, but it swims well - most shrews do - and climbs well, but only if it has to.”
“In spite of its small size, the Etruscan shrew is a fearsome predator for any living prey, provided it is small enough to be tackled: insects, worms, myriapods, and snails are all eaten voraciously because its survival requires incessant feeding.”
