The Mindoro black rat, Rattus mindorensis, is a rodent in the family Muridae. Its source article says it is found only in the hilly and forested areas of Mindoro island in the Philippines, which makes it an island-restricted species rather than one with a wide mainland range. The entry rests on the 2005 treatment of the superfamily Muroidea by Musser and Carleton in Mammal Species of the World, and the article is brief: it gives the scientific name, the family, and the restricted range and habitat type, and nothing on size, diet, breeding or population. Those gaps are left open here rather than filled with guesses drawn from other rats of the same genus.
