Insectivora is an order of mammals primarily known for their insect-eating habits. This group includes animals such as hedgehogs, shrews, and moles. They are characterized by their sharp teeth and keen sense of smell, which help them locate and capture their prey. Members of Insectivora are typically small and have a diverse range of habitats, from forests to grasslands. They play an important role in controlling insect populations and are found on every continent except Australia and Antarctica. Their adaptations make them well-suited for a diet that mainly consists of insects and other small invertebrates.
