Hi everyone!:D Today I'm doing a post on the Luzon Cordillera Forest Mouse! Its latin name is Apomys Abrae.
Here is some information about them.

They live in the Philippines.
They are not threatened! That is weird since they are the smallest animal in their area. Maybe everyone around just can't see them? :D 

When they are babies they are called three different things: Pinkie, kitten, or pups. 

Wow they sure are light!! They only weigh between 59-79 g!!! 

In length they are about 258-291 mm. The tail is about The same length as its body.

Just like a lot of rodents they only have four toes on each front foot and on the back they have 5 on each foot. Their hair is thick and is a light brownish orangish. With a thin darker layer of fur on top of that.
Here is my drawing of one of them.
