No species of the same family or order lives in Mexico City, so these are its closest relatives here: other mammals.
Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Saussure's Shrew sighting in Mexico City on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 19th most-seen of the 19 mammals we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Saussure's Shrew in Mexico City on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Saussure's Shrew sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Mexico City, in our data
Mexico City is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Saussure's Shrew sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Saussure's Shrew is recorded against all the mammals logged in Mexico City (5 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
