description Mouse Bandicoot Overview
Mouse bandicoot, Microperoryctes murina, is a small marsupial in the family Peramelidae and order Peramelemorphia. It is endemic to western New Guinea, with records from West Papua, Indonesia, and is associated with upland or mid-montane forest, generally above about 1,000 m. Its small size, plain smoky-gray soft fur, and upland distribution distinguish it from many lowland bandicoots, while its diet and population size remain poorly documented.
