He is finished! Shrew on a date.

His name is Franz Shrewbert.

The pirates off the coast of Northymbra can be very shrew'd.

We have a 28mm model of an anthropomorphic shrew. He's facing to the right and has a cutlass in his left hand and brandishing a dagger ready to throw above his head in the right. He has a red bandana and trousers, a white shirt and a blue waistcoat. His face is showing an evil grin.

Still needs some refining and priming and painting but I made this little guy for Federico.

I hadn't done any sculpting for a long time but I really really love it - I definitely need to make more time for it 😊

das #krabbeltierchen das ich von meiner heutigen #AuwaldRunde mitgebracht habe ist etwas größer als sonst und zur abwechslung mal ein säugetier: diese (wühl?)maus. ein wahrhaft wuseliges wesen, nicht einfach abzulichten. reichen die bilder jmd von euch zu erkennen was für eine art das ist?

#mouse #shrew #vole #nature #wildlife

zwischen grünen sonnenlichtbeschienenen grashalmen krabbelt eine längliche, ja, wie soll ich sagen, wurstförmige maus mit schöner haselnussbrauner farbe

dieselbe maus, hier kann man etwas besser die kleinen anliegenden öhrchen sehen, damit wird auch deutlich dass der kopf etwa ein drittel der länge des tiers ohne schwanz ausmacht. die nase ist seitlich, wo die schnurrhaare rauskommen haarig verbreitert, etwas aufgeflufft. ein hinterbein ist zu sehen, das ist grau statt braun, der schwanz auch.

noch einmal die maus, hier wirkt die nase eher stumpf, was gegen eine spitzmaus spricht

Scilly shrew – dweller of the abandoned garden

Scilly shrew. It is such a small creature. As a shrew. As a little mouse. Such kind. And, also, good and kind. It does not make a passages underground. And, use what exists, already. Easily, it can live near in a garden nearby. Or, in the field. Lots of places, where this little animal can live.

Bestial Human Shrew
Hand drawn Ink art by William McAusland, writing by Colin Chapman
Although small and rodentine in appearance, bestial human shrews are actually fierce, voracious and hyperactive omnivores armed with a mouthful of sharp teeth, poisonous saliva (Type A, paralysis), and a decided preference for meat.

Introducing the Mount Lyell shrew, the only known California mammal never photographed alive, until now. Three young scientists caught five of the tiny shrews in their pitfall traps overnight (all were quickly released). The furry creatures are less than 4in long, and weigh only a gram and a half – about the same as two paperclips

"Momentarily pausing after eating some mealworms, an elusive shrew’s long snout pointed skywards, unaware of the historic portrait that had just been captured".

The Mount Lyell #shrew is back!

In three nights and a few pitfall traps in California these students trapped and photographed four species of shrews including the very poorly known Mount Lyell shrew. Good thing their #mammalogy class included #fieldwork.

Reading about the history of biologists using brain-to-body-mass ratio as a predictor of intelligence.

And maybe my favourite fact in all of science. It proposes that the greatest intelligence on Earth is not human but… the shrew

With a brain that takes up 10% of its total mass, it is by this reckoning 5x more intelligent than humans.

Hail.

ings. While the formula seems logical, it has some inconsistencies. For instance, a shrew's brain weighs 3g and its total weight is 30g, making its ratio 10%. The tiny shrew has the highest brain-to-body mass ratio of any known animal. The result suggests that a shrew should be five times more intelligent than a human being.

So I am doing #septempera after all - not sure how consistent I'm gonna be but if I can make at least 10 little gouache paintings, I'll be happy 😁

Here's the first one. Little shrew ready for a date.

My phone camera's zoom is no good so it's a little out of focus but these little peeps are so elusive and quick and tiny that I consider it a huge win I was able to get a semi-decent photo at all. It's so cute!😭
