摘要：Spare a thought for the poor smoky mouse: As if it hasn¡¯t
got enough to contend with watching out for natural predators
such as dingoes, sooty owls, quolls and the odd
snake, it also has foxes and cats on its case as well.
This tiny endangered rodent, which weighs between 45 and
90 grams and measures a diminutive 85 to 100mm, is such a
specialist in where it likes to live that it appears in only a
handful of places in Victoria, New South Wales and the ACT.
¡°In southern NSW the smoky mouse prefers ridge-top
habitats which are dominated by heath species,¡± said one
of its main protectors in NSW, Chris Slade.
