Location: Sebastian, Rails to Trails trailThis used to be a Southern Short-tailed Shrew,
But he is no longer among the living.
Shrews have a crazy high metabolism
And eat like every day is Thanksgiving.
So how he died - I can't say for sure,
He might have been hungry and not found food.
Or he could have been attacked by a preditor
Who decided he wasn't in a shrew-eating mood.
(Thanks to David Simpson for the ID on this - I have never seen a shrew before in my life.)
