The slender rat, Rattus verecundus, is a rodent in the family Muridae. Its source article says it is found in West Papua, Indonesia, and in Papua New Guinea, so it occurs on both halves of the island of New Guinea. In the Kalam language of Papua New Guinea it is known as sjang. The article is a short stub that gives the classification, the range and this local name but nothing on size, habitat, diet, breeding or conservation standing, and none of those is asserted here.
