As the smallest diving mammal hunting for this water shrew lasts only a few seconds, but their technique underwater is remarkable. Their eyesight is poor so they rely on foraging along the bottom to find movement with their long whiskers. To find stealthier prey they have the rare ability to smell underwater. By blowing tiny bubbles of air they can detect scent particles in the water. Nature on PBS

Worm Hunting

Among the forest’s rich soils and rotten logs the shrews forage for grubs and worms. There are endless dishes they can be used in. If their harvest is especially large, the remaining morsels would be kept in the worm bins, pickled, or used to make worm sausage.
