Tajuddin's spiny rat

Mammals

Tajuddin's spiny rat, scientific name Maxomys tajuddinii, is a species of rodent in the genus Maxomys. The Global Biodiversity Information Facility backbone places it in the family Muridae, the mice and rats, and credits its description to Achmadi, Maryanto and Maharadatunkamsi in 2012. English Wikipedia says it is found in Indonesia and Malaysia and describes it as a rodent of medium size, with a tail length of 106.9 to 122.3 millimetres, feet of 27.62 to 30.04 millimetres and a weight of up to 70 grams. The sources read give no further detail on its habits, so this description stays short.
