Christmas Island shrew
The Christmas Island shrew (''Crocidura trichura''), also known as the Christmas Island musk-shrew is an extremely rare or possibly extinct shrew from Christmas Island. It was variously placed as subspecies of the Asian gray shrew (''Crocidura attenuata'') or the Southeast Asian shrew (''Crocidura fuliginosa''), but morphological differences and the large distance between the species indicate that it is an entirely distinct species.
== Description ==
The Christmas Island Shrew, like other members of the genus ''Corcidura'', is a small short-legged mammal with a distinct pointed muzzle. It has a dark grey to reddish brown coloring. Like all other shrews, the Christmas Island Shrew resembles a mouse and weighs in a range between 4.5g-6g.〔 The Christmas Island Shrew varies from other forms of the species in that it is beset with long fine hairs, and its tail is much greater in length.〔(C. W. 1900. A Monograph of Christmas Island (Indian Ocean). British Museum of Natural History, London, UK. )〕 The typical lifespan for its genera is approximately one year, but Crocidurine shrews have been reported to live for up to two years in the wild.〔Meek, Paul (2000).
