Cutch rat

Mammals

The Cutch rat, also known as the Cutch rock rat, is a rodent of the family Muridae with the scientific name Cremnomys cutchicus. It is found in India, where it is widely distributed across the states of Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Karnataka and Rajasthan. Its English Wikipedia article is a short stub, so the account of the species rests on its identity, its family and its Indian range. The article cites the 2006 IUCN Red List for the species, drawn from an assessment by Baillie and the CBSG CAMP India Workshop of 2000, and it follows the Muroidea treatment by Musser and Carleton in Mammal Species of the World for its classification.
