Description
Crocidura crenata Brosset, Dubost, and Heim de Balsac 1965
Crocidura crenata Brosset, Dubost, and Heim de Balsac 1965, Mammalia, 29: 268.
Type Locality: Gabon, Belinga.
Vernacular Names: Long-footed Shrew.
Distribution: High forest in S Cameroon, N Gabon, and E Dem. Rep. Congo.
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: The specific epithet obviously was choosen because the species has extremily long feet and tail; Brosset (1988) observed that they aid in jumping rather than climbing.
