Cape York rat

Mammals

The Cape York rat (Rattus leucopus) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in southern New Guinea, in both Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, and in Cape York Peninsula in Australia, so its range crosses from the island of New Guinea to northern Australia. The Wikipedia article that describes it is brief and cites the 2005 treatment of the superfamily Muroidea by Musser and Carleton in Mammal Species of the World. It gives no measurements, habitat, diet or conservation status, so this entry records the identity and the range only.
