Vishal Subramanyan, Prakrit Jain and Harper Forbes laid out over 100 traps last November and checked them every two hours, for three days and four nights, to photograph the tiny creatures.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The hardest part of getting the photos was one, they&#8217;re incredibly fast cuz they&#8217;re always running around,&#8221; Subramanyan told CBS News.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\"><span class=\"img embed__content\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/01\/28\/b4fbfbd9-3a8d-481b-b1e1-b2113832ae50\/thumbnail\/620x647\/39bc6c700e1cc78e7830d34cf393f0fa\/lyell-shrew-on-natural-background.jpg?v=d4034f91d2441fe84007132fdf593e3f#\" alt=\"lyell-shrew-on-natural-background.jpg \" height=\"647\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/01\/28\/b4fbfbd9-3a8d-481b-b1e1-b2113832ae50\/thumbnail\/620x647\/39bc6c700e1cc78e7830d34cf393f0fa\/lyell-shrew-on-natural-background.jpg?v=d4034f91d2441fe84007132fdf593e3f 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/01\/28\/b4fbfbd9-3a8d-481b-b1e1-b2113832ae50\/thumbnail\/1240x1294\/77fe218b286603b237b5345e6cbcdd8c\/lyell-shrew-on-natural-background.jpg?v=d4034f91d2441fe84007132fdf593e3f 2x\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%20620%20647'%2F%3E\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\"><span class=\"embed__caption\">The Mount Lyell shrew was captured in a photo for the first time in California.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Vishal Subramanyan<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Another reason the Mount Lynell shrews had never been captured alive on camera is that they have an incredibly fast metabolism, Subramanyan said. When the students learned that this particular animal had never been photographed before, they devised a plan.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers have set up similar pitfall traps to capture the shrews, but if they&#8217;re left in the trap for more than two hours, they&#8217;ll simply starve to death. That&#8217;s why Subramanyan, Jain and Forbes had to check their traps every two hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To take the photos, the students set up a white background on the bottom of a box, using glass on the top so they could photograph through it. They also had a terrarium with soil and mealworms for the shrews.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-left embed--size-small\"><span class=\"img embed__content\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/01\/28\/bea9f8e4-3254-4626-a14a-e58576ed63cc\/thumbnail\/620x440\/051e6a9bad0bdbf75e12498805eebb7e\/sorex-lyelli-1-further-crop.png?v=d4034f91d2441fe84007132fdf593e3f#\" alt=\"sorex-lyelli-1-further-crop.png \" height=\"440\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/01\/28\/bea9f8e4-3254-4626-a14a-e58576ed63cc\/thumbnail\/620x440\/051e6a9bad0bdbf75e12498805eebb7e\/sorex-lyelli-1-further-crop.png?v=d4034f91d2441fe84007132fdf593e3f 1x\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%20620%20440'%2F%3E\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\"><span class=\"embed__caption\">The Mount Lyell shrew photographed on a white background.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Vishal Subramanyan<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The tiny mammals are active through day and night because they have to constantly feed on insects and arachnids to survive.
