Species, and making a thorough analysis, we really could figure it out. its the availability of food or the insect larvae that live in beds of rivers and streams that drove water shrews into the water. their record dive time is 2a seconds and this research has revealed how these tiny predators bodies became engineered for this high—speed aquatic hunting. victoria gill, bbc news. very impressive little animals, arent they?— very impressive little animals, arent they? very impressive little an...
