The Fulvous Harvest Mouse is a buffy-orange mouse of dense grassy habitats in the south-central United States and Mexico, with grooved upper incisors that identify it as a harvest mouse. It builds small, globular grass nests anchored among dense stems and vines. Fulvous harvest mice can be especially abundant in brushy fields where dense cover provides protection from predators.
