Chiropodomys
''Chiropodomys'' (or pencil-tailed tree mice) is a genus of Old World rats and mice native to Southeast Asia and northeast India. They are tree-dwelling, very small mice, mostly found in tropical rainforest. In total six extant species have been identified, but only one of these, ''Chiropodomys gliroides'', is common and widely distributed, and has been extensively studied. Species Genus ''Chiropodomys'' — pencil-tailed tree mice: *Palawan pencil-tailed tree mouse, ''Chiropodomys calamianensis'' Taylor, 1934, Palawan and neighboring islands *Indomalayan pencil-tailed tree mouse, ''Chiropodomys gliroides'' Blyth, 1856, northeast India, southeastern China, mainland Southeast Asia, Sumatra, Java *Koopman's pencil-tailed tree mouse, ''Chiropodomys karlkoopmani'' Musser, 1979, Mentawai Islands * Large pencil-tailed tree mouse, ''Chiropodomys major'' Thomas, 1893, Borneo *Gray-bellied pencil-tailed tree mouse, ''Chiropodomys muroides'' Medway, 1965, Borneo *Small pencil-tailed tree m ...

Indomalayan Pencil-tailed Tree Mouse
The Indomalayan pencil-tailed tree mouse or simply pencil-tailed tree mouse (''Chiropodomys gliroides'') is a species of arboreal rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in northeastern India, southern China (including Hainan), Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Peninsular Malaysia, and Indonesia (Java, Sumatra, the Mentawai Islands, and some other islands). This locally abundant but patchily distributed species occurs in primary and secondary forests, without affinity to particular forest types. It can suffer from deforestation Deforestation or forest clearance is the removal of a forest or stand of trees from land that is then converted to non-forest use. Deforestation can involve conversion of forest land to farms, ranches, or urban use. The most concentrated d ... and is sometimes harvested for consumption.

Chiropodomys Gliroides
The Indomalayan pencil-tailed tree mouse or simply pencil-tailed tree mouse (''Chiropodomys gliroides'') is a species of Arboreal locomotion, arboreal rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in northeastern India, southern China (including Hainan), Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Peninsular Malaysia, and Indonesia (Java, Sumatra, the Mentawai Islands, and some other islands). This locally abundant but patchily distributed species occurs in primary and secondary forests, without affinity to particular forest types. It can suffer from deforestation and is sometimes harvested for consumption. Nesting Like all members of the genus ''Chiropodomys'', it builds its nest between stalks of bamboo. It does this by constructing a bundle of leaves and branches between the two stalks, then gnawing through part of the bamboo stalks so that they may enter into the nest. The mice are sociable in nature, and may share their nests with other mice. References
