Summary ¹

The Taita shrew (Suncus aequatorius) is an extant species of white-toothed shrew that occupies two localities in the Taita Hills mountain range in the Taita-Taveta District of south-western Kenya. Given the continuing decline in the quality of this habitat, and the limitations in its range, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) recognises the shrew as a critically endangered species.
