Basic stats

Size

Medium-sized

The Chinese white-toothed shrew is described as medium-sized, with light brown dorsal fur and a faintly two-coloured tail. It differs from the Asian grey shrew in having less severely concave posterior upper premolars, and its skull is longer than that of the Indochinese shrew, with a proportionately broader upper jaw region relative to a narrow braincase (Wikipedia, general species account).

The cached account is mostly skull anatomy and gives no range, habitat, diet or breeding information, and does not describe its occurrence in India, so this entry is limited to identification (Wikipedia, general species account).
