#RodentOfTheDay Plains Rat (Pseudomys australis)

"Referred to as the pallyoora or yarlie by Indigenous groups, the plains rat was once widely distributed across central Australia, including north-west New South Wales and south-west Queensland..."

Photo and info from: animalia.bio/plains-rat

Plains rats are one of the largest rodents in the arid zone of Australia. They have a stocky body with long ears and a rounded muzzle. Fur color is grey to brown along the animal's back with white or cream lining its underbelly. These mice have long ears and a rounded snout and their tail is roughly as long as their body. This one is standing on some reddish, sandy ground.
