The Malayan mountain spiny rat (Maxomys inas) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae, the large family of true mice and rats within the order Rodentia. The cited article states that it is found only in Malaysia, which makes it a Malaysian endemic. It belongs to the genus Maxomys, a group of spiny rats, and its common name refers to the mountains of the Malay region. The Wikipedia article is a short stub that cites the Muroidea chapter by Musser and Carleton in Mammal Species of the World (2005) and gives no description of its appearance, diet or habitat, so those details are left open here rather than guessed.
