"From all accounts, Australia’s blue-grey mouse was a charming little creature.
The famous British zoologist Oldfield Thomas of London’s Natural History Museum
first described the species in 1910 and named it
Pseudomys glaucus.
Within half a century, the species had seemingly disappeared, leaving behind
only three scientific specimens. Since then, two of these have been lost.
But is the mouse extinct, or just extremely hard to find?
We decided to explore old museum specimens and correspondence in the hope of
finding one of Australia’s most enigmatic extinct mammals. We have not
rediscovered it yet – but our new research has shown us where to look."
