Sulawesi soft-furred rat

Mammals

The Sulawesi soft-furred rat, Eropeplus canus, is a rodent in the family Muridae and the only species placed in the genus Eropeplus. It is found only on Sulawesi, Indonesia, so its whole range is a single island. The natural habitat the source gives is subtropical or tropical dry forest, and the same source describes the species as threatened by habitat loss. The Global Biodiversity Information Facility records its IUCN Red List category as Least Concern, which sits uneasily beside that warning and is noted here as a difference between the sources. Its diet, activity pattern, lifespan and body size are not stated in the pages read for this entry and are left open.
