The Sumatran shrewlike mouse (Mus crociduroides) is a species of mouse. It is endemic to Indonesia. [1] [2]
This mouse is known only from the mountains of western Sumatra, where it lives in rainforest habitat. It occurs in Kerinci Seblat National Park. [1]
The house mouse is a small mammal of the order Rodentia, characteristically having a pointed snout, large rounded ears, and a long and almost hairless tail. It is one of the most abundant species of the genus Mus. Although a wild animal, the house mouse has benefited significantly from associating with human habitation to the point that truly wild populations are significantly less common than the semi-tame populations near human activity.
Apodemus is a genus of Muridae. The name is unrelated to that of the Mus genus, instead being derived from the Greek ἀπό-δημος.
The genus Mus or typical mice refers to a specific genus of muroid rodents, all typically called mice. They are the only members of the tribe Murini. However, the term mouse can also be applied to species outside of this genus.
The Cypriot mouse is a species of mouse endemic to Cyprus. Its primary habitat seems to be the vineyards and fields of the Troödos Mountains region.
The Luzon montane forest mouse is a species of rodent in the family Muridae, from the genus Apomys. It occurs only in the Philippines, where it has been found on the large northern island Luzon. It is most closely related to the large Mindoro forest mouse, which occurs on Mindoro. There may be another related species in the Sierra Madre, but this species is yet undescribed. The Luzon montane forest mouse is a relatively large, ground-dwelling rat with a tail that is quite short for its genus.
Mastomys is a genus of rodent in the family Muridae endemic to Africa. It contains eight species:
The Ethiopian striped mouse or striped-back mouse is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is only found in Ethiopia. It was formerly classified in the monotypic genus Muriculus, but phylogenetic evidence supports Muriculus being a subgenus within Mus, the true mice. The Ethiopian striped mouse's natural habitats are subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland and urban areas. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The little Indian field mouse is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.
The Ryukyu mouse is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
The fawn-colored mouse is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in Cambodia, India, and possibly Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Cook's mouse is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in southern and south-eastern Asia from India to Vietnam.
The desert pygmy mouse is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in Angola, Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Its natural habitats are dry savanna and subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland.
The Macedonian mouse is a species of rodent in the family Muridae and order Rodentia. This rodent lives in the area from eastern Georgia and western Bulgaria to Israel. It is considered part of a Paleoarctic group along with three other species: the house mouse, steppe mouse, and Algerian mouse.
Mus mayori is a species of rodent in the genus Mus, the mice. Its common names include Mayor's mouse, highland rat, and spiny mouse. It is endemic to Sri Lanka.
Shortridge's mouse is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam.
The steppe mouse or mound-building mouse is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in grassland and other open areas in Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia and Montenegro, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Ukraine.
The earth-colored mouse is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in India, possibly Indonesia, Nepal, and Pakistan. The earth-colored mouse lives in cultivated fields in raised moist mounds of Earth, where they burrow and locate their nest about 20 cm or 8 inches deep. Living in a raised mound of soil offers them more oxygen flow from air coming through the surrounding sides as well as from above. In contrast, their co-existing sibling species Mus booduga burrow in the flat parts of the field, which allows for niche differentiation.
The volcano mouse or Javan shrew-like mouse is a species of rodent in the family Muridae endemic to Indonesia.
The white-ankled mouse is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae.
Mus is a subgenus of the rodent genus Mus.
