Biology
Sandshrew have a body the same colour as the sand to hide themselves from the enemy easily. Their skin is so dry all the time, as their body cannot accept water. They do not need to drink water more than once in a month.

Behaviour
Sandshrew are afraid of water, and they evolved in a form that barely needs to take water in their body. They live in deserted areas, or the closest ones to those. They particularly choose to live far away from water, lake, sea, or any kind of them. Their body is the same colour as the sand to make it easier to hide in the sand when they are alarmed, or in danger. At nights, they sleep underground.

Habitat
No Sandshrew has been found or encountered as a wild Pokémon in the nature.
