Excerpt from A Taxonomic Review of American Long-Tailed Shrews (Genera Sorex and Microsorex) A gopher trapped in a tunnel made by the animal was discovered to have a small opening in its side with parts Of the intestines gone and immediately upon discovering this fact I removed the Specimen and replaced it with a small trap baited with some of the remaining portions of the intestines. An hour later the trap was visited and found to be holding fast one of these little shrews. The hole in which the trap was placed was thoroughly covered with dirt, in such manner that no animal could possibly have entered at that particular place.
