The heavenly hill rat (Bunomys coelestis) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in southwestern Sulawesi, Indonesia, and within that region it has been recorded only on Mount Lompobatang, so its known range is a single mountain. Wikipedia gives its natural habitat as subtropical or tropical dry forest and says that it is threatened by habitat loss. The GBIF record lists its Red List category as Endangered, while a species account held there describes a Critically Endangered classification and a known distribution of barely over 100 square kilometres, with a population that has apparently decreased, so the sources are not fully consistent about how threatened it is.
