I am not sure what mouse it is.I took it near my house in chennai,tamil nadu,India.I took the photo in the night.It seems thay call this mouse in tamil as moonch eli [moonch=face, eli=mouse].It would be kind if anybody could help in in Identifying the mouse.
I donot think it is Crocidura canariensis asthe Canary shrew is found only in the canary Islands and I am in India Looking at an evolutionary point of view they must be quite different.I am also quite sure that it is a mouse mainly because of its tail.Anyway thank you very much for helping.
Maybe I am wrong,but look at this picture http://www.nekanet.net/Naturaleza/espec … a/F339.jpg
I think they look quite the same and I think what you’ve found i definitely some kind of shrew
You are right that it is a shrew sorry for my wrong information.But I still don’t think it is the Canary Shrew may be a relative or convergent evoluion.Thanks Again Supernova.
