Once-in-a-lifetime finding of incredibly rare humbug pygmy shrew photographed in Cornwall. An extremely rare pygmy shrew with an albino mutation was found by Anita McMillan near St Austell, 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.
