PHDid you know that the Indefatigable Galápagos mouse succumbed due to rats, mice, and cats introduced to its native habitat?
Nesoryzomys indefessus, also known as the Santa Cruz nesoryzomys or Indefatigable Galápagos mouse, is an extinct species of rodent from the genus Nesoryzomys of the family Cricetidae (rice rats) from the Galápagos Islands of Ecuador. It formerly lived on Santa Cruz Island, as well as Baltra Island, but is now extinct, probably due to the introduction of black rats. Another related rodent, N. narboroughi, is sometimes considered to be a subspecies of N. indefessus.
