Koopman's rat

Mammals

Koopman's rat, Rattus koopmani, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae, in the genus Rattus. It is found only on Peleng island, one of the Banggai Islands (Kepulauan Banggai) off the southeastern coast of Sulawesi, Indonesia, so its whole known range is a single island. The species was described by Guy Musser and Holden in 1991, and the IUCN lists it as Data Deficient. The source article is a short stub that does not describe its size, appearance, habitat, diet or behaviour, so this entry limits itself to its identity, classification and its very small island range.
