Millet's leopoldamys

Millet's leopoldamys (Leopoldamys milleti) is a large rodent of the family Muridae that lives in the Langbian highlands of southern Vietnam, although the limits of its distribution are not yet settled. It is a terrestrial omnivore that prefers montane forest but tolerates secondary forest. Only a handful of museum specimens record it, yet it is presumed to have a high and stable population, no major threats are apparent, and it occurs in a number of protected areas in Vietnam; the IUCN Red List lists it as Least Concern. Herbert Christopher Robinson and Cecil Boden Kloss recognised it in 1922 as a remarkably distinct race of Edwards's long-tailed giant rat, and it stayed classed that way for a long time. It differs from that species in its much darker back fur and larger auditory bullae.
