The Camiguin forest rat (Bullimus gamay), also called the Camiguin bullimus, is one of four species of rodents in the genus Bullimus and is endemic to the island of Camiguin in the Philippines. It was described in 2002 by Rickart, Heaney and Tabaranza from Mount Timpoong on Camiguin, the same mountain where the Camiguin forest mouse was later collected, and the original description appeared in the Journal of Mammalogy. The IUCN assessment relayed through GBIF lists it as Vulnerable. The short Wikipedia article gives no measurements, diet or breeding details, so this entry does not state any.
