Tawny deer mouse
It can be distinguished from its closest relatives by the length of the tail and by the presence of brownish fur on parts of the hind feet, which are pure white in other species.It is found from Jalisco in the north, along the coast to the northernmost parts of Guerrero in the south, and also inland in Michoacán and the west of the State of Mexico.As its alternative common name of "marsh mouse" implies, it is generally found in wet habitats, such as near lakes, streams, or man-made irrigation, and it has also been reported from tropical fruit orchards and sugar cane plantations.[4] Two subspecies are recognised: Tawny deer mice are nocturnal and solitary, and spend much of their time in trees, although they also travel along the ground.[4] They construct spherical nests from grasses and other plant materials, concealing them in trees or amongst dense undergrowth,[5] and rarely travel far from their homes, ranging over an area of no more than about 70 m (230 ft) across.
