Beccari's margareta rat

Mammals

Beccari's margareta rat (Margaretamys beccarii) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae, the family that includes the Old World mice and rats. It is endemic to the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia, so no population is known from anywhere else. The species was named by Fredericus Anna Jentink in 1880 and belongs to the genus Margaretamys. Wikipedia's account of it is brief, but the IUCN Red List entry that the article cites assesses the species as Least Concern, and the article lists it among the rodents of Sulawesi. As an island endemic, its whole range lies within Sulawesi.
