Delicate mouse

Mammals

The delicate mouse (Mus tenellus) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae, in the genus Mus. It is found in Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan, Tanzania, and possibly Eritrea. Its natural habitat is dry savanna. The species was described by Oldfield Thomas in 1903. The species box on the short Wikipedia article gives its IUCN Red List category as Least Concern under version 3.1, and GBIF carries the same category, so it is not considered at elevated risk of extinction. The sources read for this entry do not describe its diet, activity pattern or lifespan.
