The Banahaw tree mouse (Musseromys gulantang) is a small rodent in the family Muridae, named after Mount Banahaw on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. It was described in 2009 by Heaney, Balete, Rickart, Veluz and Jansa in a paper that proposed a new genus and species of small tree mouse related to the Philippine giant cloud rats, which is why it sits in its own genus, Musseromys. The IUCN assessment relayed through GBIF lists it as Data Deficient. The Wikipedia article gives no measurements, diet, habitat or breeding details beyond the origin of its name, so none are stated in this entry.
