Chestnut-bellied spiny rat

The chestnut-bellied spiny rat (Maxomys ochraceiventer) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae, in the genus Maxomys. It is found in Indonesia and Malaysia. The species was described by Oldfield Thomas in 1894, and the Wikipedia article on it is a short stub that gives its range and family but little about its biology. The conservation status given in the article's species box is Data Deficient, which means that the assessors judged the available information too thin to place the species in a threat category. GBIF, which carries the IUCN Red List category for the species, also lists it as Data Deficient. The sources read for this entry do not describe its diet, activity or lifespan.
