Piebald shrew
 The Piebald Shrew (Diplomesodon pulchellum) is a shrew found in the Turan Lowland east of the Caspian Sea in Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. It grows to 2–23⁄4 inches in length and usually hunts for insects and lizards at night. It is the only extant member of the genus Diplomesodon. In 2011 A. Cheke described a new and possibly extinct species based on a 19th-century manuscript: Diplomesodon sonnerati (Sonnerat's Shrew).
