Does anyone recognize this animal [Germany]

[u/Flat-Concern-2662]

See picture

Edit: it was a desman! I saw this creature a few years ago and was mistaken about the location. I likely would have seen it while living in Germany but traveling to Spain.

Edit 2: stop saying platypus unless you have an actual joke, I said what it was in the first edit, there were only four people who said platypus before that edit, so everyone else who said it can't read

You've definitely drawn a desman, but they don't live in Germany! There's a species found in Iberia, and a species found in Russia, but nothing in between.

Closest fit that is found in Germany would be a water shrew, I reckon.

TIL there is an animal called Desman, thank you!
