This nocturnal mouse lives in deserts and dry grasslands. It mainly eats insects and also catches other small animals.
Its back is cinnamon-pink or grayish and its underside is white. A pale tuft is usually found in front of each ear, and the sparsely furred tail is dark above and white below.
It is active at night and uses burrows, including those left by other animals. It eats mostly insects and scorpions and sometimes catches small mammals.
