Moon striped mouse

Mammals

The moon striped mouse, also known as the Ruwenzori hybomys (Hybomys lunaris), is a rodent of the family Muridae found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda and Uganda. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forest, and it is threatened by habitat loss. Its body length ranges from about 10 to 16 centimetres, its tail is roughly 7 to 13.5 centimetres long, and it weighs about 30 to 70 grams. It feeds on a wide array of food, including insects, fruits and seeds. After a gestation of 28 to 29 days the female gives birth to two or three young. The sources behind this entry say little about its behaviour beyond diet and reproduction, so nothing further is claimed here.
