Mount Pulag tree-mouse

Mammals

The Mount Pulag tree-mouse (Musseromys beneficus) is a small rodent in the family Muridae, found on Mount Pulag on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. Like the other members of its genus Musseromys, it is a small murid weighing between about 15 and 22 grams, with a tail of 82 to 101 millimetres that is usually longer than the head and body, which measure 74 to 84 millimetres. Only three adult specimens have been collected, now held at the Field Museum of Natural History, including the holotype, an adult female. It is known from a single location and little is recorded about its habitat or threats, so the IUCN has assessed it as Data Deficient.
