"The Mount Lyell shrew is possibly the most poorly known mammal species in California, having not been trapped or recorded in two decades," said researcher Vishal Subramanyan.
"It's likely that the photographs we took might be the first time a living Mount Lyell shrew has been seen by human eyes," Subramanyan expressed, marking a significant moment.
Despite its elusive nature, this small mammal has received minimal scientific attention since its identification over a century ago, with limited details available about its lifestyle.
The first photographs taken by researchers indicate the potential for new insights into the Mount Lyell shrew's behavior and ecology, which remains largely unknown.
