injom

Injoms are a type of nocturnal rodent native to the dense rainforests of Southeast Asia. They are small, typically measuring between 10 and 15 centimeters in length, with a prehensile tail that aids in arboreal locomotion. Their fur is usually a dark brown or gray, providing camouflage against tree bark. Injoms are primarily insectivores, feeding on a diet of insects, larvae, and occasionally small fruits. They possess sharp claws and a keen sense of smell to locate their prey.

These rodents are solitary creatures and are rarely seen in groups. They construct nests in tree hollows or dense vegetation, lining them with leaves and soft moss. Injoms are known for their agility and speed, able to leap between branches with remarkable precision. Their large eyes are adapted for low-light conditions, allowing them to navigate and hunt effectively at night. Reproduction typically occurs once a year, with females giving birth to litters of two to four offspring. The young are altricial, meaning they are born underdeveloped and rely heavily on their mother for care. Injoms play a role in their ecosystem by controlling insect populations. Their secretive nature and nocturnal habits make them difficult to study, and much of their behavior remains unknown.
