I found this creature on our driveway,
probably left there by our neighbor's cat. I guess it's an American shrew mole, which I read is common here in the northwestern US, and also southwestern Canada. It measures about 2.75 inches from the tip of it's long snout to the base of it's tail, which is another 1.5 inches long.
