That's not a rat! Rodents spotted at Springside Park turn out to be shrews
SINGAPORE - Residents of Springside Park in Seletar who thought they might have a rat problem can breathe a sigh of relief.
They do have a "furry little problem". But the rodents that were spotted were revealed to be shrews, rather than rats.
In a Facebook post on Thursday, Nee Soon GRC Member of Parliament Lee Bee Wah said that officers from the National Parks' Board (NParks) pest control team had learned about the shrews after visiting the park at night.
"They've explained to some residents that shrews are harmless to humans, and eat insects like cockroaches," Ms Lee wrote, adding that some residents requested that the shrews not be killed.
Ms Lee said that she had never heard of shrews before, and that NParks will keep monitoring the situation.
