Volcano mouse

Mammals

The volcano mouse, Mus vulcani, is also known as the Javan shrew-like mouse. It is a rodent of the family Muridae and belongs to the genus Mus. The English Wikipedia article describes it as endemic to Indonesia, meaning that it is found nowhere else, and its alternative name refers to the island of Java. The article is a single sentence with no further detail on appearance, habitat, diet or conservation, so this entry records only the names, the family and the Indonesian endemism that the source states.
