Bicoloured white-toothed shrew — size comparison — facts and sources

The bicoloured white-toothed shrew has a dark brown back sharply separated from a white belly, a pointed snout and a short tail with projecting hairs. White teeth distinguish these shrews from those with pigmented tooth tips.

It inhabits dry grassland, scrub and woodland edges. It seeks small animals among vegetation and near the ground, also using farm surroundings at its northern range edge. Its behaviour is less thoroughly studied than its structure and colouration.
