The Tana Toraja hill rat, Bunomys torajae, is a rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in Sulawesi, Indonesia, which makes it an island endemic with a range limited to that one landmass. Its common name points to the Tana Toraja area of the island, though the source does not describe its exact range, and the habitat, diet, activity pattern, lifespan and body size are not stated in the pages read for this entry. The Global Biodiversity Information Facility records its IUCN Red List category as Near Threatened, one step above Least Concern, which marks it as a species whose status deserves watching even though the sources give no population figure.
