The opossum rat (Rattus marmosurus) is a rodent of the family Muridae in the genus Rattus, the genus of the black rat and the brown rat and their many relatives. It is found only in northern and central Sulawesi, Indonesia, which makes it endemic to part of one island. The Wikipedia entry is short and cites the species account by Musser and Carleton in the 2005 edition of Mammal Species of the World, pages 1474 and 1475, and it gives no description of the animal, its habitat, diet or conservation status, so none is offered here.
