Similar. But not exactly. One of the big differences is our moles have huge paws. The shrew has dainty paws. If you gooogle Southern short-tailed shrew you will see similar images.
Doesn't look like a shrew to me, it's tail is too short and the short tailed shrews usually have a protruding nose but that's probably what this is. It looks a lot like a vole, but nothing like a mouse really. I can't see it's toes there, so how can I better identify a shrew at a glance?
