The forest shrew (Myosorex varius) is a species of shrew in the mouse shrew family, Soricidae.[2] It is found in Lesotho, South Africa, and Eswatini.[1] Its natural habitats include temperate forests, dry savanna, Mediterranean-type shrubby vegetation, and temperate grassland.[1] The term "forest shrews" in the plural is sometimes confusingly used to collectively refer to a different genus, Sylvisorex.
