Forest soft-furred mouse

Mammals

The forest soft-furred mouse, also known as the West African praomys, is a small rodent with the scientific name Praomys rostratus. It belongs to the family Muridae. It lives in West Africa and is recorded from Ivory Coast, Ghana, Guinea and Liberia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest, so it is a forest animal rather than one of open country. It was first described by Gerrit Smith Miller Jr. in 1900 and is placed in the genus Praomys, and its IUCN conservation status is Least Concern. The source article is a brief stub that does not describe the animal's size, diet, breeding or behaviour, so none of those are claimed here.
