White-footed climbing mouse

The white-footed climbing mouse (Rhipidomys leucodactylus) is a species of South American rodent found in Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela.

[2] With a head-and-body length of 180 mm (7 in), the white-footed climbing mouse is the largest species in the genus.

The tail is about the same length as the head-and-body and is densely clad in short reddish to dark brown fur and terminates with a long tuft of hair.

[3] The white-footed climbing mouse is native to the rainforests of the Amazon Orinoco basin; it is present in the lowlands of west and central Brazil as well as the Andean piedmont area in eastern Bolivia and Venezuela.

It is a frugivore and has been found among crops, where it is considered a pest, and inside dwellings; it has been reported as gnawing a pineapple, eating sugarcane and yucca.
