Lesser tree mouse

Mammals

The lesser tree mouse, Chiruromys vates, is a rodent in the family Muridae that is found only in Papua New Guinea. Its common name suggests a climbing way of life among trees, though the source read for this entry does not describe its habitat, diet, activity pattern, lifespan or body size, so none of those are asserted here. The Global Biodiversity Information Facility lists it as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, meaning it is not currently considered at risk. The entry is kept short on purpose: it records what the sources state, and the missing biology is left open for a later fill rather than filled with guesses.
