Long-tailed giant rat

Mammals

The long-tailed giant rat (Leopoldamys sabanus) is a large rat in the family Muridae, the family of true mice and rats. It belongs to the genus Leopoldamys and has a wide range across mainland and island South-East Asia and the edge of South Asia: it is recorded from Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. The Wikipedia article this entry rests on is a short stub citing the 2005 treatment of the superfamily Muroidea in Mammal Species of the World, so the account here covers identity, family and range only. Its size, habitat, diet and conservation status are matters for further sourcing and are not stated here.
