Yellow-haired hill rat

Mammals

The yellow-haired hill rat (Bunomys chrysocomus) is a rodent in the family Muridae, subfamily Murinae and tribe Rattini. It is found only on Sulawesi, Indonesia, including Lore Lindu National Park. It was first described as Mus chrysocomus by B. Hoffmann in 1887, and its type locality is Minahassa in northern Sulawesi. The Mammal Diversity Database now lists it as Bunomys chrysocomus, giving the common hill rat and common Bunomys as alternative common names, places it in the Australasian biogeographic realm and records its IUCN Red List status as Least Concern. The sources consulted give no detail on its size, diet or behavior.
