The crowned shrew or Millet's shrew (Sorex coronatus) is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae. It is found in Austria, Belgium, France , Germany , Liechtenstein, the Netherlands, Spain , Switzerland , and the British island of Jersey. It is almost indistinguishable from the common shrew; its habits and habitats are identical. However it has a different karyotype, is slightly smaller, and has small morphological differences, such as a longer rostrum (upper tooth-row and mandible) relative to length of skull.
