Penguin here.
On the topic of tiny mammals, shrews are another special kind belonging to the rodent (UPDATE: We had originally assumed that these little guys were rodents, but it turns out they’re not! It turns out, they’re more closely related to moles. Thanks, Cynthia!) family. Look at the adorable schnoz and ears on this one! Also, did you notice how he looks like he’s under deep contemplation? If that’s the case, he must be the tiniest philosopher to have ever set foot on this planet.
Found here: Bestiara Latina
Shrews actually aren’t rodents, according to Wikipedia. Just found out myself, as I had to look it up for work. Have a great day!
Wow, I definitely didn’t know that. Thanks for the information. I will update the post to reflect this.
