The pygmy shrew is out here living life in a constant snack-emergency mode...and honestly, who are we to judge? 🍽️😅 Despite being one of the smallest mammals in Britain, the pygmy shrew is basically a tiny calorie-burning furnace. They have to eat every 2–3 hours just to survive, and here’s the wild bit... they can munch up to 125% of their own body weight in prey every day! Thank you to Dawn, our Volunteering Manager, for capturing this amazing clip when she experienced this special wildlife
