Species of mammal
The Mount Kenya mole shrew (Surdisorex polulus) is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae endemic to Mount Kenya in Kenya. Its natural habitat is tropical high-elevation bamboo and grassland,[1] particularly the bamboo-belt of Mount Kenya and the adjacent heath and grassland.[2]
The Mt. Kenya mole shrew is listed as vulnerable because it is known to only be found in a single location in highlands of Mount Kenya, though a closely related species, the Aberdare Mole Shrew, can be found on the nearby Aberdare range.[3] The habitat of the species is dense montane grassland.[1]
