Moles, hedgehogs, shrews, solenodon and
tenrecs first appeared in the
Upper Cretaceous period and are now distributed worldwide except in
Australia, polar regions, and many oceanic islands. They are a diverse group of
mammals sharing certain primitive characteristics but highly specialized in
several adaptive modes. They
are terrestrial, arboreal, semi-aquatic and are insectivorous to
omnivorous. The Shrews are the smallest of living mammals.
