The Taiga Shrew (Sorex isodon), also known as the Even-toothed Shrew, is a species of shrew. An adult Taiga Shrew has a body length of about 67 millimeters, with a tail of about 43 millimeters. It is very similar to the Long-Clawed Shrew. This species inhabits forested mountain valleys, and is found across northern Eurasia. It ranges from the Baltic Sea area through the Lake Baikal region of Siberia into the Russian Far East and along the Baekdudaegan mountains of the Korean Peninsula.[3]
