Gymnures are cousins of the hedgehog, sometimes called furred hedgehogs, and are insectivores. The Dwarf Gymnure was first discovered in 1918, but it was not considered a valid species until it was more fully studied in 1994. Now, it is in danger because it is in a very limited location, and its habitat is rapidly being cleared. Little is known about the Dwarf Gymnure, partially because of their scarcity and the remoteness of their location. They do intermix with the Lesser Gymnure, however, in the lower parts of the moss forest that they live in, and their appearance is very similar to the Lesser Gymnure.
