The Andaman rat, Rattus stoicus, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae, the large family that holds most of the world's rats and mice. It is endemic to the Andaman Islands, so it is found nowhere else, and it has been recorded on Henry Lawrence Island, South Andaman and Middle Andaman. It is a nocturnal species, active after dark, and it lives in tropical evergreen forests from sea level up to 200 metres (660 feet) above sea level. The Wikipedia article that describes it is a very short stub and gives no figures for body size, lifespan, diet or population.
