Hellwald's spiny rat

Mammals

Hellwald's spiny rat (Maxomys hellwaldii) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only on Sulawesi in Indonesia. The species was described by Fredericus Anna Jentink in 1878 and belongs to the genus Maxomys. Its species box on the Wikipedia article gives an IUCN Red List category of Least Concern under version 3.1, and GBIF, which carries the IUCN category, gives the same, so the species is not considered at elevated risk of extinction. The article is a short stub that gives its range but no detail of its habitat, diet, activity pattern or lifespan, and the other source read for this entry does not either.
