Who or what was in Rimu today?

Can you guess who our visitor was from these clues?


I am a mammal who has a pointed snout. There are 30 known species of me.
I have a long hairless tail that can grow as long as my body.
I use my whiskers to  sense changes in temperature and to help feel the surface I am
walking along. As I have so many predators, I usually only live for about six months
in the wild, however in a lab or as a pet, I can live for up to two years. Some people call
me pests or rodents but I am small and wouldn't hurt a human. Who am I?

Have a go at writing your own clues for a different animal so that we can try to guess what you are describing.
