Himalayan Large-clawed Shrew

The Himalayan shrew is native to montane forest in the southern Himalaya, in Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar and Nepal, from about 700 m to 4,500 m. It is generally considered the only species in its genus, though other species were described in 2023 and 2024. It is relatively large, the largest in the genus at about 17.6 g (Wikipedia, general species account).

The fur ranges from brown to black and the tail is relatively short, about half the length of the head and body. The forelimbs and claws are relatively enlarged, which suggests digging habits. The cached account gives no diet or breeding information (Wikipedia, general species account).
