The Philippine forest rat, Rattus everetti, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in the Philippines, where it is located throughout the archipelago. Its scientific name commemorates Alfred Hart Everett, a British colonial administrator and zoological collector. The species is widespread across its range and feeds on fruit, seeds, worms and insects. The Wikipedia article says there are no major threats to it and that it has been found to be competitively superior to introduced Rattus species in both disturbed and undisturbed forest habitat. This entry records those points from the article and nothing beyond them: no size, lifespan or activity pattern is stated there.
