St Kilda
also has a special mouse! It's the St Kilda fieldmouse
and it is different from mice on the mainland or other
islands. St Kilda mice are nearly twice as big as mice
on the mainland. They have a darker, more reddish coloured
coat and a paler belly. Their fur is longer and fluffier
which meant that someone described them as "being
more like comedy hamsters than mice"! |
