The mountain spiny rat (Maxomys alticola) is a rodent in the family Muridae and belongs to the genus Maxomys. It was first described by Oldfield Thomas in 1888. The Wikipedia article states that it is found only in Malaysia, which makes it endemic to that country, and the same source records it among the rodents of Borneo. The IUCN Red List classes it as Least Concern. The article is a short one, and little else about its habits is stated there.
