What does shrew mean?
A small, insectivorous mammal with a pointed snout and a long, thin body. A shrew is often mistaken for a mouse, but it is actually a distinct and separate animal.
Example
"The shrew scurried across the forest floor, its tiny heart beating rapidly as it searched for its next meal."
