Long-tailed mouse, Pseudomys higginsiThe long-tailed mouse is the only species of rodent endemic (restricted to) Tasmania. The species reaches about 70 grams in weight and is distinguished by its two-tone tail - white below and dark above. The tail is longer than head and body.
The species occurs in rainforest and wet and dry sclerophyll forest. It is particularly common in sub-alpine scree - indeed, the unusually long hindfeet of the species suggest that it may hop from rock to rock in such a habitat. Its broad diet includes lichen, bryophytes, ferns, seeds, fruit and some insects.
Breeding occurs from late spring to late summer, with one or two litters averaging 3-4 young, being produced each year. Gestation is 33 days. Longevity is about 18 months.
