Large-toothed hairy-tailed rat

Mammals

The large-toothed hairy-tailed rat (Batomys dentatus) is one of five species of rodent in the genus Batomys, and it belongs to the diverse family Muridae. The Wikipedia article that serves as this entry's source says the species is found only in the Philippines and that its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests. The article cites the Mammal Species of the World entry by Wilson and Reeder from 2005. It gives no body measurements, diet, lifespan, population figure or conservation category, so those details are left blank here rather than guessed, and the description goes no further than the single short article supports.
