Wimmer's shrew (Crocidura wimmeri ) is a white-toothed shrew found only in Côte d'Ivoire. It is listed as a critically endangered species due to habitat loss and a restricted range.
Shrew species assignment is a challenge due to their strong phenotypic similarities, which is why the C. wimmeri had been considered to be extinct since 1976, until a rediscovery in 2013.
