How tall can a shrew grow?

Shrews are small mammals, typically measuring between 3 to 6 inches in length, excluding their tails. They generally do not grow very tall, with their height being negligible due to their small and compact bodies. The largest species, the Eurasian water shrew, can reach lengths of about 5 to 7 inches, but their height remains minimal. Overall, shrews are not known for any significant vertical growth.
