Bannister's rat

Bannister's rat (Melomys bannisteri) is a species of rodent in the genus Melomys. It is also called the great Key Island mosaic-tailed rat, the great Key Island melomys or the great Kai Island melomys. The Wikipedia article that serves as this entry's source says it is endemic to Kai Besar, one of the islands of the Maluku Islands in Indonesia. The article is a single sentence, so it gives no family, body measurements, habitat description, diet, lifespan, population figure or conservation category. Those details are left blank here rather than guessed, and the description is limited to what that one source establishes.
