They are nearly blind, and very territorial. In fact almost any other animals including other shrews that invade their territory will be attacked. A garden snake thought he was going to have an easy meal with a shrew in the garden. Not so. As the snake makes its move, biting the shrews body, the shrew turns and bites the snakes head several times. The Snakes muscles very quckly lock up, freezing from the poison in the shrews bite. Yes Poison. A couple of minutes later the shrew is enjoying snake for dinner. deimos3428 Sage Collector Joined: 09 Jul 2004 Last Visit: 21 Nov 2008 Posts: 2631 Location: Toronto, Canada Posted: Sun Jul 27, 2008 11:30 pm http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/features/Lists/?Article=PoisonousSurpris es "Humans don't have to worry too much, however."       Badmike Long-Winded Collector Joined: 23 Jun 2003 Last Visit: 21 Nov 2008 Posts: 4451 Location: DFW TX Posted: Mon Jul 28, 2008 1:09 am     deimos3428 wrote: http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/features/Lists/?Article=PoisonousSurpris es "Humans don't have to worry too much, however."       What do THEY know......
