Is that a gigantic rat scurrying around Clementi Avenue 3 block? Not quite

Stomper Boay was excited upon seeing what appeared to be a large rat at Block 426, Clementi Avenue 3 last night (Jan 5) at around 10.45pm.

However, from photos that the Stomper sent us, we have identified the animal to be a shrew and not a rat.

"When I returned home at around 10.45pm, I saw this 'rat' running around and took a few pictures. I was so excited about this that I took a video, then realised later that it was only one-second long."

What's the difference between a rat and a shrew? Check out a comparison below.
