Indomalayan pencil-tailed tree mouse

The Indomalayan pencil-tailed tree mouse or simply pencil-tailed tree mouse (Chiropodomys gliroides) is a species of arboreal rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in northeastern India, southern China (including Hainan), Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Peninsular Malaysia, and Indonesia (Java, Sumatra, the Mentawai Islands, and some other islands).[1][2] This locally abundant but patchily distributed species occurs in primary and secondary forests, without affinity to particular forest types. It can suffer from deforestation and is sometimes harvested for consumption.[1]

Nesting

Like all members of the genus Chiropodomys, it builds its nest between stalks of bamboo. It does this by constructing a by constructing a bundle of leaves and branches between the two stalks, then gnawing through part of the bamboo stalks so that they may enter into the nest. The mice are sociable in nature, and may share their nests with other mice.[3]

gollark: Yes, that is also bad.
gollark: Then you should use a faster encryption library, and also go to a company which allows you to remove technical debt.
gollark: In that case I'd say you're doing it wrong. You can send a random bit of data, stick it in an associative array or whatever stupid thing it's called mapping it to whatever this secret is, and then API 2 can take the random data, and find the secret in that associative array.
