The Mindanao montane forest mouse (Apomys insignis) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae, the large family of true mice and rats within the order Rodentia. The cited article states that it is found only in the Philippines, so it is endemic to that country. Its common name ties it to Mindanao, the large southern island of the archipelago, and to montane forest, the cool forest of higher ground. It belongs to the genus Apomys, the Philippine forest mice. The Wikipedia article is a short stub that cites the Muroidea chapter by Musser and Carleton in Mammal Species of the World (2005) and does not describe appearance, diet or conservation status, so those details are left open here.
