Long-tailed shrew rat

Mammals

The long-tailed shrew rat (Tateomys macrocercus) is a rodent of the family Muridae, the large family of Old World rats and mice, belonging to the genus Tateomys. It is found only in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, and within that region it is known only from Mount Nokilalaki in Sigi Regency, which makes it a species with a very small known range. The Wikipedia article on it is short, so its classification and its single known locality are the facts recorded here, and that article gives no habitat description, measurements, diet or conservation status for the species.
