Palawan spiny rat

Mammals

The Palawan spiny rat (Maxomys panglima) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. According to its Wikipedia article it is found only in the Philippines. The article's single reference is Musser and Carleton's 2005 entry on the superfamily Muroidea in Mammal Species of the World. The source does not describe the animal's appearance, habitat, diet or numbers and gives no conservation assessment, so this entry records only its identity, its family and its restriction to the Philippines, and leaves every other fact open until a source that states them has been read.
