Once-in-a-lifetime finding of incredibly rare humbug pygmy shrew photographed in Cornwall. An extremely rare pygmy shrew�160;with an albino�160;mutation�160;was found by�160;Anita McMillan�160;near St Austell,�160;Cornwall, while out for a walk.
He's a sweet little humbug! From what I remember, there is actually a striped candy found in the UK called a humbug. They probably weigh about as much as Mr. Humbug Shrew.
