Habitat of the Taita Shrew in Kenya. |
The Taita shrew (Suncus aequatorius) is an extant species of white-toothed shrew from two localities in the Taita Hills mountain range in the Taita-Taveta District of southwestern Kenya.[2] Given the continuing decline in the quality of this habitat, and the limitations in its range, the IUCN recognises the shrew as a endangered species.[2]
