The Peleng rat (Rattus pelurus) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae, the family of true mice and rats. It is found only on Peleng Island, which lies off the southeastern coast of Sulawesi, Indonesia, so its known range is a single island. It belongs to the genus Rattus, which the atlas holds as its own taxon entry. The English Wikipedia article is a short stub that gives the family, the binomial and the island, and cites Musser and Carleton in Mammal Species of the World, so appearance, habitat, diet and conservation status are not covered in this entry and stay open until a source that states them is read.
