Sicilian shrew
The Sicilian shrew (Crocidura sicula) is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae. It is found in Sicily (Italy) and Gozo (Malta). Its natural habitat is temperate shrubland. Distribution and habitat 
It is present in Sicily and Ustica (C. s. sicula), in the Egadi Islands (C. s. aegatensis) and in Gozo (C. s. calypso). It lives in open environments of gariga or Mediterranean scrub but also within lyce, cork and beech forest formations, from  above sea level. Sometimes it is also present within citrus groves and cultivated areas as well as, rarely, in rural dwellings. Subspecies

Four subspecies of the Sicilian shrew are found:

 Crocidura sicula sicula - on the island of Sicily
 Crocidura sicula aegatensis - on the Aegadian Islands
 Crocidura sicula calypso - on the island of Gozo
 Crocidura sicula esuae - a fossil form from the Middle Pleistocene of Sicily, larger than living individuals, though other authors have suggested that this represents an extinct species that was replaced by C. sicula. See also
