Darwin's leaf-eared mouse (Phyllotis darwini) is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae.[2]
It has terrestrial habits and is endemic to coastal central and northern Chile . It is also found in the Atacama Desert. Members of the species have been found in the Llanos de Challe national park of the Atacama Desert. As a nocturnal rodent, P. darwini utilize the varying degrees of moonlight to determine predation risk and will often alter foraging habits in favor of avoiding predators.[3]
