摘要: The tree mouse (Pogonomys sp.) is a cryptic species from north-east Queensland. We report the first known predation of this by reptile, carpet python (Morelia spilota), based on identification hair retrieved road-killed python. describe characteristics sample and comment implications that diverse foraging strategies in reptilian predator may have for prey behaviour vulnerability.
