The Moluccan prehensile-tailed rat, Rattus morotaiensis, is a rodent in the family Muridae. According to its source article it is found only in the Halmahera Islands of Indonesia, including Morotai, Halmahera and Batjan, so its whole known range is a small island group rather than a continental region. The article is short and gives the classification and the range but no account of habitat, diet, breeding or conservation standing, so none is asserted here. The reference behind the entry is the 2005 treatment of the superfamily Muroidea by Musser and Carleton in Mammal Species of the World.
