Rhynchomys or shrewlike rats, also known as the tweezer-beaked rats, is a genus of unusual murids found only on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. They look a great deal like shrews and are an example of convergent evolution. Shrewlike rats evolved to be vermivores (worm-eaters) and insectivores feeding on soft-bodied invertebrates associated with leaf litter.
