If this is so, then a pocket of favourable habitat for the long-haired rats was the area studied at Sturt National Park (the same area as described for Mus musculus. Here the rodents had estab- lished two types of burrow system. The most common type was a shallow hollowing out of the soft, moist ground which lies beneath the dry, hardened crust of surface soil.
