Eastern chestnut mouse

Mammals

The eastern chestnut mouse (Pseudomys gracilicaudatus) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in Australia, along the eastern coast from northern Queensland into New South Wales as far as Jervis Bay. The Wikipedia article that describes it is brief and cites the 2005 treatment of the superfamily Muroidea by Musser and Carleton in Mammal Species of the World. It gives the family and the range but no measurements, habitat, diet or conservation status, so this entry records the identity and the east coast range and leaves the other facts open.
