Mduma's shrew (Crocidura mdumai mammal in the family Soricidae . It is endemic to Tanzania .[2]
Etymology [ edit ]
It is named after Tanzanian conservationist Simon Mduma , in honor of his efforts in studying the Serengeti ecosystem.[3]
Distribution and habitat [ edit ]
It is restricted to Tanzania, where it is only found in the forests of the Ngorongoro Crater . Its habitat includes montane forests on the edge of the Ngorongoro caldera and drier forests on the southeastern slope.[3]
Description [ edit ]
The holotype had a length from head to rump of 81 mm and a tail of 59 mm. It has dark brown fur on the back and dark gray on the belly.[3]
This species is considered endangered due to habitat loss from deforestation due to smallholder farming in the Ngorongoro crater.[1]
