Habitat:
C. zimmeri is a large shrew and one of the most distinctive of the Crocidura species. There is little natural history information available for this species. The Upemba National Park largely consists of wetlands, and the species is thought to be associated with these habitat types.
Range:
Crocidura zimmeri is a very distinct species from Katanga Province, southern Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is known only from Upemba National Park. It was described in 1936 when two specimens were collected but has not been collected or seen again. However, this area has not been thoroughly sampled since its discovery and it is possible that further surveys may provide new records. It is thought to occur at an altitude of approximately 600-700 m asl.
Conservation:
This species occurs in Upemba National Park, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Additional studies are needed into the distribution, natural history and threats to this little known species.
