Miller's water shrew

Neomys anomalus/milleri (Cabrera 1907)

Large, semi-aquatic shrew, but more terrestrial and smaller than the white-legged shrew. Black on the back and white on the belly. It feeds mainly on terrestrial and aquatic invertebrates. It has average European environmental requirements but less strict than its relative, generally linked to aquatic environments of semi-permanent waters. It is distributed throughout the peninsular territory but with very fragmented populations: it is more abundant in the NW sector, and very scarce towards the S and E. Day and night activity with various phases throughout the day. Very rare species, it does not exceed 1% of the catches of the SEMICE project.
