Sorex araneus<\/em> weighs up to 15 g and reaches a head-body length of up to 85 mm, with a tail length between 60 mm and 75 mm. The dorsal side is dark-colored, the sides are slightly lighter, and the fur on the belly is light gray. This species prefers moister habitats and can be found in forests, thickets, or near human settlements (Schaefer 2018). Reproduction takes place in spring between April and May, and the litter size varies greatly. The common shrew is active both during the day and at night, but its main activity phase is at night. Predators of the common shrew include various mammal species such as domestic cats (Southern 1965).<\/p>\n

Diet:<\/strong> The common shrew primarily feeds on invertebrates such as insects, spiders, and worms. It also utilizes carrion as a food source (Southern 1965).<\/p>\n

Threat Status:<\/strong> Sorex araneus<\/em> is classified as “least concern” in both the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and the Red List of Germany.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div> <\/section>\n \n\n
