(family soricidae) Observations of shrew behavior in the wild are few, and what little is known comes from relatively few laboratory studies. One interesting behaviour is the innate following behaviour unique to some shrews of the sub family Crocidurinae, which results in the formation of "caravans" when a female and her young are moving, the 1st young grabs the base of her tail with its mouth. The next young grasps that base of the tail of the 1st young in its mouth, and so on, forming a chain of young that, under some conditions, is dragged by the mother.
