The Long-footed Shrew is recorded in forests of the western Congo Basin. Monts Doudou specimens had long hind feet, and researchers discuss a possible link to jumping as a hypothesis.
Among 13 Monts Doudou specimens, hind-foot length was reported as a useful external feature for distinguishing it from C. dolichura. Tail length was about the same in the two species.
At Monts Doudou it was captured in ground-level pitfall traps, not in traps set above ground. The paper cites a hypothesis that its long feet and tail may aid jumping.
