‘Never-seen-before' creature found in Brit's garden for the first time & it looks like a famous striped sweet
A TINY animal that looks just like a mint humbug sweet has been spotted in Britain for the first time. The creature, a pygmy shrew, was discovered near St Austell, Cornwall, by Anita McMillan while she was out walking. 6 The pygmy shrew, which weighs no more than a penny at just 2.4 to 6.1 grams, is now considered the smallest land mammal in the UK Credit: Jam Press/Anita McMillan 6 Spotted by sister of top big cat tracker Credit: Jam Press/Anita McMillan 6 One with these unique markings has never been seen here before Credit: Jam Press/Anita McMillan The pygmy shrew, which weighs no more than a penny at just 2.4 to 6.1 grams, is now considered the smallest land mammal in the UK. While pygmy shrews are widespread across the country with an estimated population of several million, one with these unique markings has never been seen here before. This particular shrew has a rare genetic mutation that causes white stripes or patches to appear in its fur – a condition known as partial albinism or leucism. Unusual markings There are an estimated 8,600,000 pygmy shrews in Great Britain, but this one is extremely unusual because of it's colouring. Read more on News Normally, pygmy shrews have grey-brown fur on top and a grey underside, but this one had a distinctive striped look that resembled a traditional sweet. In Britain, albinism or leucism in shrews is very rare and usually only seen in the common shrew, not the pygmy variety. Anita, who is the sister of top British big cat tracker Rhoda Watkins, said: "I thought it was unusual with the markings. It seemed happy to play in the leaves in the open for so long. "As I was a distance away with the zoom lens, it wasn't aware of me and kept busy in the leaves. Most read in The Sun "It wasn't until I shared the picture with my sister that I realised it was very special. "She is into wildlife tracking and prompted me to contact the Cornwall Mammal Group for an identification." Experts comment Matt Larsen-Daw, CEO of the Mammal Society, said: 'As far as we know, this is the first pygmy shrew with this distinctive patterning ever recorded in the 'Pygmy shrews are an important part of our ecosystems. They eat over 250 prey items in a single day – up to 125 per cent of their body weight.' The pygmy shrew may be small, but this rare striped example is making a big impression among wildlife experts. 6 This particular shrew has a rare genetic mutation that causes white stripes or patches to appear in its fur – a condition known as partial albinism or leucism Credit: Jam Press/Anita McMillan 6 They eat over 250 prey items in a single day – up to 125 per cent of their body weight Credit: Jam Press/Anita McMillan 6 Experts were stunned by the sighting Credit: Jam Press/Derek Crawley

Salford councillors are due to meet on Thursday, July 17 to consider the proposal. Officials have already recommended approval for the ambitious development. The new buildings would be located in the northern half of Salford's Regent Retail Park, near the River Irwell boundary with Manchester city centre.

Community concerns However, not everyone is happy with the proposals, as more than 450 objections have already been lodged with Salford City Council. Money News Today A protest is planned outside Salford Civic Centre ahead of the planning meeting for an application decision. Councillors in Ordsall are leading the campaign against the plans, along with Salford MP Rebecca Long-Bailey. Advertisement They shared fears that the work would increase pressure on the existing community. The campaigners cited potential parking issues and the loss of local shops as their main concerns. MP Rebecca Long-Bailey shared an open letter to development bosses last year. Top 10 tallest buildings in the world 1. Burj Khalifa, Dubai - 2,717ft 2. Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia - 2,227ft 3.

They added that existing businesses in the retail park would be welcomed within the new structure. "We are delighted that planning officers have recommended our Regent Park proposals for approval," said Hattie Charlier-Poole, senior development manager at Henley Investment Management.
