🐾Etruscan shrew
コビトジャコウネズミ（Suncus etruscus）は、真無盲腸目トガリネズミ科ジャコウネズミ属に分類される哺乳類である。 キティブタバナコウモリと並ぶ最小の哺乳類の1つであり、体重はわずか2グラム程度しかない。この種の成体で最も小さいものは、体重1.3g、体長36mmである。鼻の先から尾の付け根までは約60mmであり、尾は約40mmである。寿命は約15か月である。コビトジャコウネズミは南アジア、南ヨーロッパの森林や低木の茂みに棲息し、昆虫を主食とする。心拍数は平均体重0.0024gあたり835bpmという計算から推測されるよりも若干速く、1秒間あたり14回である。体重に占める脳の重さの割合は全ての動物の中で最も大きく、ヒトすらも凌ぐ。
