What

Vernay’s Climbing Mouse (Vernaya fulva)

Date

May 2023

Description

A friend of mine in Yunnan met its body while driving and took it away to me. I made it into a specimen.
Its body is yellow-brown, its abdomen is pure white, its front and rear feet have five toes and claws, and its tail with the same color on both sides is obviously longer than its body, so I think it is a kind of rat climbing. And because the front teeth are not sunken, it is determined to be Vernaya. There is only one species of Vernaya in China, and that is Vernaya fulva.
