Bolam's mouse
Bolam's mouse (''Pseudomys bolami'') is a species of nocturnal, burrowing rodent in the family Muridae that inhabits the semi arid and southern arid regions of Australia.〔Moseby, K. E., & Read, J. L. (1998). Population dynamics and movement patterns of Bolam’s mouse, Pseudomys bolami, at Roxby Downs, South Australia. Australian Mammalogy, 20, 353-368.〕 It has a number of physiological and behavioural adaptations developed to cope with the extremely varied climatic conditions. Many of these adaptations allow it to survive in extremely arid conditions by conserving water. Examples of these adaptations include the ability survive by extracting water from seeds alone, the production of highly concentrated urine and low water content faeces as well as nocturnal activity.〔Murray, B. R., Dickman, C. R., Watts, C. H. S., & Morton, S. R. (1999). The dietary ecology of Australian rodents. Wildlife Research, 26(6), 857-858〕
==Description==
Bolam’s mouse is the size of a house mouse although slimmer in appearance with larger eyes, feet and ears with a longer tail. It is also quieter than a house mouse when handled and lacks a musty odour.〔NPWS (2002). Bolam’s Mouse (''Pseudomys bolami'') Recovery Plan. NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, Hurstville NSW〕 Other distinguishing features include the absence of notched upper incisors which are characteristic of the house mouse.〔NPWS (2002). Bolam’s Mouse (''Pseudomys bolami'') Recovery Plan. NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, Hurstville NSW〕 The weight of males and females is between 9-16 grams. The body length is 50-80mm with a tail length of 71-103mm. The fur is a dull grey-brown that blends from white at the base to much darker at the tips. It is very similar in appearance to the sandy inland mouse ''Pseudomys hermannsburgensis'' but with a longer hindfoot (18.4-20.1mm), 4-6 hairs per tail scale and longer ears (15.2-18.6mm).〔Van Dyck, S., Gynther, I. & Baker, A.
