laurasiatheria -> eulipotyphyla -> soricidae -> notiosorex

upper jaw has 3 unicuspid teeth, smaller than sorex with more conspicuous ears

[biol525-mammalogy]

laurasiatheria -> eulipotyphyla -> erinaceidae (hedgehog)

Zygomatic arch present and slender; first upper incisor large and caniniform; upper molars quadritubercular with short, rounded cusps (for omnivorous diet).

also the nasals and premaxillae form a heart shape and i thought that was cute :)

one of my bat posts got flagged and i don't know why, it's not like it had female-presenting nipples in it

laurasiatheria -> eulipotyphyla -> talpidae -> scapanus latimanus (broad-footed mole)

all you gotta know: big hands and reduced/absent eyes

i took a photo of the skull to show the teeth but honestly it's so bad that i'm not going to include it

laurasiatheria -> eulipotyphyla -> soricidae -> sorex

4-5 unicuspid teeth in upper jaw as opposed to the 3 found in notiosorex
