Eastern broad-toothed field mouse

The eastern broad-toothed field mouse (Apodemus mystacinus) is a rodent in the family Muridae and the genus Apodemus, the field mice. It was described by Danford and Alston in 1877. After the population of the Balkans was recognised as a separate species, the western broad-toothed field mouse, the eastern broad-toothed field mouse in the strict sense came to mean the animal of the east: it is found in Georgia, Greece, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey, a range that spans the eastern Mediterranean, the Levant and parts of the Caucasus and Iran. The IUCN lists it as Least Concern. The sources read for this entry say little about its appearance, diet or breeding, so those details are left to a later fill.
