Habitat and Geography
The Eurasian water shrew can be found primarily in burrows along the banks of many streams and rivers in various parts of Europe and Asia that have lush vegetation. The Eurasian water shrew likes to be near areas of water that are clean and have a rapid current, which aids them while they hunt. They are also found in water-cress beds, ponds, and marshes. In addition, they have also been found in grasslands, woodlands, and other areas that are not in close proximity to water.
The Eurasian water shrew is found primarily in Central Europe,
especially in Germany and Austria. It can also be found in Greece,
Turkey, and the Mediterranean islands. It can also be found in
northern and southern Asia Minor, north-eastern China, and North
Korea.
