Yes. Michigan is home to at least four types of shrew: the water shrew, which lives in the north and is one of Michigan's few mammals to live exclusively in wetland habitats; then there is the masked shrew, which is the second smallest member of the shrew family; Michigan also is home to the smallest shrew, the pygmy shrew, which lives only in the UP and the very northern extreme of the lower peninsula. The most common Michigan shrew is the northern short tail shrew, which lives throughout the state.
