The Sado shrew (Sorex shinto sadonis) is a subspecies of mammal in the family Soricidae. It is endemic to Japan , and more specifically, the Japanese island of Sado. Although it is sometimes referred to as its own species, more recent scholarship identifies it as a subspecies of the Shinto shrew.[3] However, there are significant morphological differences between the species.[4]
