Uhm, does this Pygmy Shrew thing actually exist? I thought it was some kind of joke.

Disambiguation?
Why does this article currently redirect from Pygmy Shrew? As there is another article about the Eurasian Pygmy Shrew, which is also commonly referred to as the Pygmy Shrew. Do we need a Disambiguation page? I've also added a link to the European one, as there was previously no mention of it. --Hibernian 15:35, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

I think the line that refers to the animal's sense of smell as "barely adequate for its survival" is terribly funny. It's not very encyclopedic though. Very funny still. --74.243.165.147 07:39, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

"The pygmy shrew is a fascinating creature..."
I've removed the sentence about the shrew's "barely adequate sense of smell." It was first added in December 2005 as a word-for-word reference to this Flash cartoon, and unless someone's willing to prove otherwise, it should stay out. Yeah, I found the cartoon amusing too, but sadly, I think the fact that this went uncorrected for such a long time says something about the reliability of Wikipedia.
