Mindanao shrew-rat

The Mindanao shrew-rat (Crunomys melanius) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae, the large family of true mice and rats within the order Rodentia. The cited article states that it is found only in the Philippines, so it is endemic to that country. Its common name ties it to Mindanao, the large southern island of the archipelago, and it belongs to the genus Crunomys. The Wikipedia article is a short stub that gives no description of its appearance, diet, habitat or conservation status, so those details are left open here rather than guessed, and the entry will grow as better sources are read.
