The Full Story
Shrews are famous for running a very high metabolism, and many species keep body temperatures around 38 to 39 °C, which is higher than that of humans. Their small size forces them to burn energy quickly to stay warm. This high temperature helps support their constant activity and rapid life cycle. It also means they must eat almost continuously to survive.
