The Small-footed Shrew is a small shrew recorded in several African countries. A Ugandan field account also describes variation in the fur on its underside.
The Ugandan specimens vary in the length of the fur on the underside; some records describe it as bicolored. The source notes that age or locality may explain some of this variation.
The Ugandan field source includes records from dry thicket. This is one documented setting, not evidence that the shrew is restricted to it.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
