American shrew mole
The American shrew mole (''Neurotrichus gibbsii'') is the smallest North American mole. It is the only living member of the genus ''Neurotrichus'' and the tribe Neurotrichini. It is also known as Gibb's shrew mole and least shrew mole.〔http://www.mnh.si.edu/mna/image_info.cfm?species_id=220〕 It is not closely related to the Asian shrew mole (''Uropsilus'' in Urotrichini). The reason that it is called a "shrew mole" instead of being called either a "shrew" or a "mole" is because of its fur, which is a characteristic of shrews and its large head and heavy dentition, which is characteristic of moles.〔Ronald M. Nowak, ("Walker's Mammals of the World, Volume 1" )〕
==Habitat==
It is found in damp, forested or bushy areas with deep, loose soils in northwestern United States and southwestern British Columbia. In the most northern part of its habitat, it lives along streams or moist dense woods and in the most southern part of its habitat, it is found in swampy areas that are overgrown with vegetation such as sedges or shrubs.〔Hartley Harrad Thompson Jackson, ("A review of the American moles" )〕
