From KH

This evening, I got to observe a rather interesting behaviour of a House Shrew.

Initially, it looked like it was wandering around, foraging for food.

Then, it started pulling vigorously at a strand of leaves from a tree!

As it wasn't strong enough to pull off the whole strand, it made do with a very small part of it.

Shrews are insectivores, so what was it doing with the leaves? Nesting material?
