Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Found in China. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.
house mouse

Bamboo bear
ジャイアントパンダ(Ailuropoda melanoleuca)は中国中部の山岳竹林に生息し、体重最大125キログラムになるクマ科の動物で、食肉目に分類されながら食事の99%を竹が占める特異な食性を持つ。偽の親指(橈側種子骨)を使って竹の茎を把握し、1日14時間もの採食時間を費やす。2016年にIUCNレッドリストで絶滅危惧から危急(VU)へ改善されており、保護繁殖プログラムと自然保護区の設置が個体数回復に貢献している。
house mouse
地球上で最も広く分布し個体数が多い哺乳類の一つであるハツカネズミは南アジアを起源とし、南極大陸を除くすべての大陸に人類文明とともに広まった。体重わずか15〜25gで、最小限の食物と水で生存できる高度に適応した雑食性動物である。世界で最も一般的に使用される実験動物として、生物医学研究のほぼすべての分野に貢献してきた。世界的に農業に多大な被害を与える。
