What is a woodlice?

Shrew is a small mammal belonging to the order Shrew. They are usually small, with a body length of 4-14 cm, and a short tail length of only 1-5 cm.

Shrews look similar to mice, but they are not mice. They have a pointed snout and small eyes and ears. Their fur is usually brown, gray or black, and is soft and smooth.

Shrews live all over the world and can be found in various environments such as woods, grasslands, swamps, and mountains. They mainly feed on small invertebrates such as insects, spiders, centipedes, scorpions, and sometimes small vertebrates such as frogs, lizards, and small fish.

Shrews are very agile animals that can run and crawl quickly to escape their predators. Since they have a very fast metabolism, they need to eat frequently to maintain their body temperature. Woodlice are usually nocturnal animals, hiding in grass or under tree trunks during the day.

In short, woodlice are small mammals with short and agile bodies, and mainly feed on small invertebrates.
