American Northern Short Tailed Shrew

[4rum]

These tiny fuzzbutts are actually venomous!
How cute is this pup?!?!


This one, most likely a littermate, has a pronounced silver cape or saddle. Reminds me of a Silverback Gorilla (except smaller)



This one, I'm guessing, is mama.

Nice shots!

Thank you, and yes, they do have eyes. If you look closely at the photos, they can be seen. Unlike moles, they seem to have very good eyesight. Fascinating little critters.
