Neomys anomalus
and Neomys fodiens: Belly Patterns
(Photos by W. Haberl ©)
1) Miller's Water Shrew (Neomys
anomalus)
a) N. a. showing white belly and white spots above eyes.
b) N. a. (anaesthesia) showing melanisms: Stripe, inguinal patch and
patch on the throat. {Arrows: 1) border of autumnal moult, 2) old colour
mark, 3) new colour mark (Auramin)}.
2) European Water Shrew (Neomys
fodiens)
a) N. f. melanisms: Stripe on belly, white tuft of hair in inguinal
patch. The throat shows yellow, which is a natural colouring attributed
to the intake of carotinoids contained in Gammaridae.
b) N. f. (pregnant) melanisms: Stripe on belly. Partly coloured black.
Yellow throat and chest (s.o.).
