What was a Shrew’s Fiddle & why were they used as a punishment? #historywithamy #historylovers #historyfacts #history #shrewsfiddle | History with Amy

One interesting thing that some shrews do is make a conga line. If a shrew's nest is disturbed, it will leave the nest and take its babies. Shrews have poor eyesight with babies virtually blind. With mom in the lead, the family forms a line. One baby will grab onto mom's tail & so on. The line then snakes its way across the ground to another safe place. Mimicking the movement of a snake may help protect the family from some predators. 📹 via Reddit | Roar Wildlife News
