The Long-clawed Pouched Mouse is a small predatory marsupial mammal with very long claws on its paws. It lives in the mountain forests of New Guinea and hunts insects and small animals.
The Long-clawed Pouched Mouse differs from related species by its very long claws on its paws. It is important for nature because it regulates the population of insects and small animals in the mountain forests of New Guinea.
