Behavior
The Formosan field mouse is a small-sized mouse with dark brown
fur. They have a big head, big eyes and ears, and look very
cute. They can leap to avoid enemy attacks when necessary. They
are a major mouse species in Taiwan's mountain forests at mid-to-high
altitudes. In addition to primary forests, they inhabit secondary
forests, artificial forests, and even human dwelling. They are
well adapted to a wide variety of environment, including places
people frequent. Therefore, if you go to forest recreation areas
in high mountains and find there are some mice partying, there's
a great chance that they belong to this species.
Habitat:
Formosan field mice are often found in Taiwan's mountain
forests at mid-to-high altitudes. They prefer forests in which
there are thick layers of leaf litter and many dead branches
and wood. They are not particularly afraid of human. Sometimes
they can even be found hiding in leaf litter in dry ditches
beside mountain roads. |
