Spiny Ceram rat

Mammals

The spiny Ceram rat (Rattus feliceus) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. According to its Wikipedia article it is found only in Seram, Indonesia, the island after which it is named; the common name spells the island as Ceram. The article's only reference is the entry on the superfamily Muroidea by Musser and Carleton in Mammal Species of the World (2005). The source gives no description of the animal's appearance, no habitat, diet or population figures and no conservation assessment, so this entry records only its identity, its family and its restriction to a single Indonesian island, and leaves the rest open.
