I just found this wee chap dead on a leaf.
It is an Etruscan Shrew (Suncus etruscus), the world's smallest mammal.
But what happened to her? Her neck has been opened by something, but who would do that and then not eat her? She was lying on a melon- plant leaf about 60cm from ground level, so was she caught, killed and then dropped? It's a mystery...
