The lovely-haired rat (Taeromys callitrichus) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae, the large family that holds the true mice and rats. It is placed in the genus Taeromys and is found only on Sulawesi, the large island of Indonesia, which makes it an island endemic. The Wikipedia article behind this entry is a brief stub that cites the 2005 Mammal Species of the World treatment of the superfamily Muroidea, so the description is limited to the identity, family and restricted range the article gives. Details of its habitat, diet, behaviour and conservation status would need further sources and are not asserted here.
