An Insectivore.
The Short-tailed Shrew mainly lives underground in the dark.
It doesn't have much use for eyes, so they are quite small. It
can dig its own burrows, but sometimes uses the burrows of
other animals like moles. It is carnivorous, eating worms,
insects (including grubs), etc. It will even eat dead mice that
have been caught in traps. It's normal color is very dark gray.
