The Vogelkop mountain rat, Rattus arfakiensis, is a species of rat native to Indonesia. It is found only in the Bird's Head Peninsula of Papua Province, Indonesia, and possibly throughout the Arfak Mountains there, so its known range is a single peninsula at the western end of New Guinea. The species was described by Hans Rümmler in 1935 and belongs to the genus Rattus. The English Wikipedia article is a short stub that gives its range and naming authority but no detail on its habitat, diet or behaviour, so none is claimed here.
