Water shrew \Wa"ter shrew`\ (Zool.)
   Any one of several species of shrews having fringed feet and
   capable of swimming actively. The two common European species
   (Crossopus fodiens, and Crossopus ciliatus) are the best

   (Neosorex palustris), is rarely seen, owing to its
   nocturnal habits.
