Hainald's Flores Island Rat

Mammals

Hainald's Flores Island rat, scientific name Rattus hainaldi, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. English Wikipedia says it is found only on Flores Island in Indonesia, including on Mount Ranaka, and that part of its habitat is protected within Kelimutu National Park. It is a small species with a body mass of around 40 to 100 grams, and is thought to be terrestrial and a nest builder that prefers closed, forested, montane habitats. The Global Biodiversity Information Facility backbone credits its description to Kitchener, How and Maharadatunkamsi in 1991, and the iNaturalist taxon record gives it an IUCN Red List status of endangered.
