1 PESTCRAFT Newsletter of the Singapore Pest Management Association January - March 2017 Issue No. Pip 53 Shrews or rats? Due to its resemblance of rats, shrews are frequently mistaken for rats and killed. To many untrained eyes, a shrew look very much like a rat or a mouse due to its small size and furry appearance. However, shrews are not rodents and are more related to moles. Shrew (left) VS Rat (right) Shrews and rodents are from different order and family. Shrews belong to the family Soricidae in the order Eulipotyphla while rodents belong to the family Muridae in the order Rodentia. Shrews are beneficial creatures because its main diet consist of harmful insects. They also forage for seeds and a variety of other foods in leaf litter and vegetation. Shrews have long pointed noses while rats and mice have much shorter noses. Unlike rodents which have gnawing front incisors, shrews have sharp and spike-like teeth. They have tiny eyes almost cover beneath their fur, short tail and short legs. The presence of shrews can almost be confirmed by a musky odour produced by the shrew s glands. Unlike rats or mice which live in colonies, Shrews are territorial creature and prefer to live alone. The common species of shrews in Singapore are the house shrew (urban) and Malayan shrew (forest). To be continued
