The Elephant mouse

The Elephant mouse (Squadphantmousus) is apart of the rodent family, and, despite it's name, is not related to the Elephants at all.
 It is 11cm long from it's nose to it's tail, and it has a nose that wrinkles up when sniffing. It also has a rather short tail with a little tuft of fur at the end; it has large eyes and it's ears are small, while it's back legs are three times as long as it's front legs.
  It is a light grey colour and lives in Australia in the rain forests. It makes it's home in small burrows or holes and sleeps in little nests it makes out of dried leaves. Some times it evan makes it's home under the roots of trees!
 It's diet consists mainly of seeds, nuts, and insects. Pretty much anything it can get it's mouth around!
 It's predators are dingos, hawks, snakes, and sometimes native cats.
The Elephant mouse breeds up to six times a year, and in one litter it can have up to fifteen babies!
They are only just managing to stay of the endangered list because of how many and how often they have babies.
