Inland hill rat

Mammals

The inland hill rat (Bunomys penitus) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in central and southern Sulawesi, Indonesia. The species was described by Gerrit Smith Miller Jr. and Ned Hollister in 1921 and belongs to the genus Bunomys. Its species box lists it as Least Concern, and the IUCN Red List category carried by GBIF is the same, so the species is not considered at elevated risk of extinction. The Wikipedia article is a short stub that gives its family and its restricted range on Sulawesi, and the sources read for this entry do not describe its habitat, diet, activity pattern or lifespan.
