What is the maximal age a Crowned shrew reaches?
An adult Crowned shrew (Sorex coronatus) usually gets as old as 1.08 years.
Crowned shrews are around 24 days in the womb of their mother. When born, they weight 90 grams (0.2 lbs) and measure 1.09 meter (3′ 7″). As a member of the Soricidae family (genus: Sorex), a Crowned shrew caries out around 5 little ones per pregnancy, which happens around 2 times a year. Fully grown, they reach a bodylength of 7.2 cm (0′ 3″).
As a reference: Usually, humans get as old as 100 years, with the average being around 75 years. After being carried in the belly of their mother for 280 days (40 weeks), they grow to an average size of 1.65m (5′ 5″) and weight in at 62 kg (137 lbs), which is obviously highly individual.
The crowned shrew or Millet’s shrew (Sorex coronatus) is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae. It is found in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Liechtenstein, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, and the British island of Jersey. It is almost indistinguishable from the common shrew, its habitatal preferences and habits are identical. However it has a different karyotype, is slightly smaller, and has small morphological differences, such as a longer rostrum (upper tooth-row and mandible) relative to length of skull.
