Habitat:
This species inhabits isolated swamps near Kainji Lake. It may also occur in dry Guinea savanna.
Range:
There is very little information available on the distribution of Crocidura longipes. It is known from two swamp areas in western Nigeria, near Kainji Lake National Park, east of Bahindi. This species is probably not widely distributed.
Conservation:
There are no known conservation measures for C. longipies. Further studies are needed into the distribution, abundance, reproduction and ecology of this species. Research priorities include, undertaking surveys of its swamp habitats and genetic studies comparing this species with Crocidura foxi and Crocidura theresae in West Africa.
