Within the section "Physical description", a statement regarding air bubbles being trapped within the thick fur needs elaboration. What do the air bubbles do for the shrew, making them important? Within the section "Dentition and eating habits", one sentence reads, "The American Water Shrew has a larger skull...", what is "larger" in reference to?

Kelly, Good job on the article update. My only suggestion would be to maybe describe why the shrew requires a lot of food. Is it due to metabolism, exercise, etc? Other than that it looked good to me! -Lauren — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lwleiden (talk • contribs) 22:28, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
