Habitat:
The Nicobar Shrew is a nocturnal and semi fossorial species, which lives among leaf litter in tropical moist deciduous forest (Molur et al. 2005).
Range:
This species is known only from the southern tip of Greater Nicobar Island (India) in the Bay of Bengal. It has been recorded up to about 100 m asl (Molur et al. 2005).
Conservation:
The Nicobar Shrew has been recorded from Campbell Bay National Park (possibly now extinct here) and Galathea National Park in Great Nicobar Islands (Chakraborty et al. 2004, Molur et al. 2005). Additional studies are needed into the distribution, abundance, general ecology and threats to this little-known species.
