Fawn-colored mouse

The fawn-colored mouse is a rodent of the family Muridae with the scientific name Mus cervicolor. Its name places it in the genus Mus, the true mice. According to its Wikipedia article it is found in Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand and Vietnam, a range that stretches across South Asia and mainland and island Southeast Asia and covers eight countries. The article is very short and is supported by the Mammal Species of the World treatment of the superfamily Muroidea by Musser and Carleton, so the sources read for this entry give its distribution and classification but say nothing about its habitat, diet or conservation status. Those facts remain to be filled from a fuller reference.
