Mammals

The Isarog shrew-rat, also called the Mount Isarog shrew-rat, has the scientific name Rhynchomys isarogensis and is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in the Philippines, where its name ties it to Mount Isarog on the island of Luzon. It belongs to the genus Rhynchomys, whose members are known as shrew-rats, and was described by Guy Musser and Freeman in 1981. The IUCN lists the species as Vulnerable. The source article is a two sentence stub, so this entry does not describe the animal's appearance, diet or habits, and it records only the identity, classification, authority and national range that the article supports.
