The Dsinezumi shrew (Crocidura dsinezumi), also known as the Japanese white-toothed shrew, is a species of musk shrew found in Japan and on Korea's Jeju Island. It is widespread, and considered to be of "least concern" by the IUCN.[2]
There has been a successful effort to breed C. dsinezumi as a laboratory animal.[3]
