The little soft-furred rat, Rattus mollicomulus, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only on the upper slopes of Mount Lompobattang in Bantaeng Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The name comes from its soft, silky fur. It is smaller than a roof rat but larger than a house mouse. The Wikipedia article that describes it is short and gives no further detail on habitat, diet or conservation status, so the entry is limited to its identity, its restricted mountain range and its size relative to two familiar rodents.
