Definition of shrew in English English dictionary: An ill-tempered, nagging woman: a scold
One of Shakespeare’s plays is The Taming of the Shrew.; Any of numerous small mouselike, chiefly nocturnal, mammals of the family Soricidae; {a} having the qualities of a shrew, cunning, artful, sly, subtle, pinching, painful; {n} a peevish, vexatious woman, an animal like a mouse; Originally, a brawling, turbulent, vexatious person of either sex, but now restricted in use to females; a brawler; a scold; A shrew is a small brown animal like a mouse with a long pointed nose. Any of more than 300 species of small insectivores constituting the family Soricidae. About 40% of these species live in Africa, but shrews are also found throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Shrews are absent from Australia and most of South America. They have tiny eyes and ears, a movable snout, and long, hook-tipped incisors. Typically 2 to 3 in. (6 to 8 cm) long, with a shorter tail, many shrews weigh only about 0.5 oz (14 g). Some are considered the smallest mammals, weighing only a few grams, with bodies less than 2 in. long. Most species live in ground litter, but some live in burrows or trees and a few are semiaquatic. Because they are so small, shrews have the highest metabolic rates of any mammals (with pulses as high as 800 beats per minute). They spend most of their time searching for food, as they can survive only a few hours without eating. Their normal prey is invertebrates such as worms, though some will eat other small animals as well. Some species have toxic saliva (painful to humans). Raptors and snakes eat shrews, but mammals avoid them. Tree shrews (family Tupaiidae) belong to a separate mammalian order (Scandentia) unrelated to true shrews; Any small insectivore of the genus Sorex and several allied genera of the family Sorecidæ; a scolding nagging bad-tempered woman; small mouselike mammal with a long snout; related to moles; {i} small mouselike mammal with a long snout; rebellious woman, nagging woman, evil-tempered woman (derogatory); small mouselike mammal with a long snout; related to moles a scolding nagging bad-tempered woman; Some of them are the smallest of all mammals; Wicked; malicious; To beshrew; to curse; In form and color they resemble mice, but they have a longer and more pointed nose
