Desert Shrew, Notiosorex crawfordi





Desert Shrew, Notiosorex crawfordi
This very rare Desert Shrew was apparently captured by Chris O'Quinn's cat and left in a litter box. Davis and Schmidly (1994)
show a Kerr County record on their range map but no further information is yet known about that record. The specimen will be
donated to a collection as yet undetermined.
