The earth-colored mouse (Mus terricolor) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in India, possibly Indonesia, Nepal and Pakistan. It lives in cultivated fields, in raised moist mounds of earth where it burrows and places its nest about 20 centimetres (8 inches) deep. A raised mound of soil gives it more oxygen flow from air coming through the sides as well as from above. Its sibling species Mus booduga lives in the same fields but burrows in the flat parts of the field, which allows the two species to occupy different niches.
