Biak giant rat

Mammals

The Biak giant rat, also called the Biak Island uromys (Uromys boeadii), is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. The Wikipedia article that serves as this entry's source says it is known only from a single specimen collected on the Indonesian island of Biak. The article is a single short paragraph, so it gives no body measurements, habitat description, diet, lifespan, population figure or conservation category. Those details are left blank here rather than guessed, and the description is limited to the identity, family and one-specimen record that the source establishes.
