The desman, a snouted and naked-tailed diving insectivore of the tribe Desmanini, belongs to one of two Eurasian species of the mole family, Talpidae. This tribe consists of two monotypic genera of semiaquatic insectivores found in Europe; one in Russia and the other in the Pyrenees. Both species are considered to be vulnerable. They have webbed paws and their front paws are not well adapted for digging. The list of species is: ⁕Genus Desmana ⁕Russian desman ⁕Genus Galemys ⁕Pyrenean desman ⁕ Galemys pyrenaicus
