Abstract
Here we reported some unusual findings of the Güldenstaedt’s White-toothed Shrew, Crocidura gueldenstaedtii from Bulgaria. Probably the first documented case of arboreal activity of this shrew - found in a nest box attached to a tree at 1.5 m height. In the Western Rhodope Mountains, we found a female shrew with a purple-red underpart, more intense around the chest and cheek.
