Whitehead's spiny rat, scientific name Maxomys whiteheadi, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae, the family of mice and rats. English Wikipedia says it is found in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand, and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility backbone lists it as an accepted species in the genus Maxomys, described by Thomas in 1894. The iNaturalist taxon record for the species carries an IUCN Red List status of vulnerable. The Wikipedia article is a very short stub that cites the Musser and Carleton treatment of the superfamily Muroidea in Mammal Species of the World, so this description reports only what those pages state.
