apumalleja
Apumalleja, also known as the "sugar cane rat" or "sugar cane mouse," is a small rodent species native to the tropical regions of Central and South America. It is characterized by its long, slender body, large ears, and a bushy tail. Apumalleja are primarily herbivorous, feeding on the leaves, stems, and fruits of sugar cane and other grasses. They are known for their ability to climb and swim, making them well-adapted to their natural habitats.
The species is of significant ecological importance due to its role in seed dispersal and nutrient cycling
Apumalleja are also of interest to researchers studying the evolution of rodent species and their adaptations
