Mammals

The Katanglad shrew-mouse, Crunomys suncoides, also called the Kitanglad shrew-mouse, is a rodent in the family Muridae. It is known only from one specimen, taken at 2250 m on Mount Kitanglad in Bukidnon Province, Philippines. Its Wikipedia article describes it as a mammal with small eyes, a slender body, long whiskers and a chunky torso, and says that it preys on earthworms and soil invertebrates. The further reading listed in the article includes a study of fur-mites of the family Atopomelidae that are parasitic on Philippine mammals, along with links to several online databases.
