Mentawai long-tailed giant rat

The Mentawai long-tailed giant rat (Leopoldamys siporanus) is a rodent of the family Muridae, the large family of Old World rats and mice, belonging to the genus Leopoldamys. It is endemic to the Mentawai Islands, an archipelago off the west coast of Sumatra in Indonesia, so it is found nowhere else. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forest, and it is threatened by habitat loss. The Wikipedia article on it is short, so its classification, its island range, its forest habitat and the threat from habitat loss are the facts recorded here, and no measurements, diet or conservation status are given by that article.
