-
A subspecies of wood mouse, Apodemus sylvaticus hirtensis, endemic to the Hebridean island of St Kilda.
The St Kilda field mice that live on that isolated Hebridean island, introduced by hitchhiking on Viking longships only about a thousand years ago, are already much heavier than those on the mainland.
