Kakadu pebble-mound mouse

Mammals

The Kakadu pebble-mound mouse, Pseudomys calabyi, is a rodent native to Australia and one of the pebble-mound mice. It was described by Darrell Kitchener and Humphreys in 1987 and belongs to the genus Pseudomys among the Old World mice and rats of the subfamily Murinae. Wikipedia places it among the mammals of the Northern Territory and the endemic fauna of Australia, and its range is tied to the Arnhem Land tropical savanna and Kakadu National Park, which gives the animal its common name. The Wikipedia article is a short stub and cites a general handbook of Australian native mice and rats for its basic statement, so detailed information on its size, diet, breeding and conservation status is not stated in the sources read for this entry and is left open rather than guessed.
