The Key Largo Cotton Mouse (''Peromyscus gossypinus allapaticola'') a subspecies of the Cotton mouse (''Peromyscus gossypinus''), is a slightly larger mouse with a more reddish color than other subspecies of cotton mice from peninsular Florida.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fws.gov/verobeach/msrppdfs/keylargocottonmouse.pdf )〕 Because of habitat destruction, the Key Largo cotton mouse is restricted to the northernmost portion of Key Largo, Florida, in the United States. It is currently on the United States Fish and Wildlife Service list of endangered species. This cotton mouse subspecies can reach a body length of seven inches (17.9 centimeters) with a tail length of three inches (7.7 centimeters). Key Largo cotton mice have a dark hazel back with reddish brown sides, a white belly, white feet, and a tail that is brown on top and white on the bottom.〔 ==Taxonomy==
Due to its longer overall length, tail length, skull measurements and reddish fur color, the Key Largo cotton mouse was described as a distinct subspecies by Schwartz in the year 1952. Its name allapaticola originates from the local Seminole Native American term allapattah which stands for the tropical dry deciduous hammocks of South Florida.
