the short - tailed shrew
shrews are some of the smallest mammals on earth; theyre only two or three inches long. but the shrew gets straight as from predator school for its toughness. because its so small, the shrew has had to learn how to fight and to develop a fierce attitude. most other animals will run away from a fight if they can, but not the shrew. it isnt afraid to start fights with bigger animals, even animals that hunt it.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the text about the short - tailed shrew. The text says that most other animals run from fights if they can, but the shrew isn't afraid to fight, even with bigger animals. Let's check each option:

• Option 1: "The short - tailed shrew is not afraid to fight with other animals." This matches the information from the text as it says the shrew has to fight and isn't afraid, unlike most other animals who run from fights.
• Option 2: The text doesn't say the shrew is "more afraid to fight" than others; in fact, it's the opposite. So this is incorrect.
• Option 3: The text says the shrew fights, not just watches others fight. So this is incorrect.
• Option 4: The text says the shrew doesn't run from fights, while most other animals do. So this is incorrect.
