Musser's shrew mouse

Mammals

Musser's shrew mouse, Pseudohydromys musseri, is a rodent in the family Muridae, the large family of true mice and rats. It is found only in Papua New Guinea, and its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. Tim Flannery described the species in 1989. The infobox of its English Wikipedia article gives the International Union for Conservation of Nature status as Data Deficient, from an assessment made in 2016, which means the available information was not enough to rate its risk of extinction. The article itself is a short stub that states the family, the country and the habitat, and cites the Mammal Species of the World entry for the superfamily Muroidea.
