Researchers recently made a major discovery—14 new species of shrews, which is the largest number of new mammals described in a scientific paper since 1931 After a decade-long journey taking
- The Largest Discovery of New Mammals in 90 Years Has Just . . .
With more than 400 known species, shrews are a diverse group, found all across the world (everywhere except Australia and Antarctica) Unusual for mammals, some species of shrew are venomous, and notorious for taking down far more frightening-looking animals like scorpions and snakes

The kidneys of mammals have a portion of the nephron called the loop of Henle or nephritic loop, which allows mammals to produce urine with a high concentration of solutes; higher than that of the blood Mammals lack a renal portal system: a system of veins that moves blood from the hind or lower limbs and region of the tail to the kidneys
