Moss-forest rat

Mammals

The moss-forest rat, Rattus niobe, is a rodent of the family Muridae and a member of the genus Rattus. The English Wikipedia article says it is found in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, and records that it is known as katgn in the Kalam language of Papua New Guinea. The article cites the Muroidea chapter of Mammal Species of the World for its classification and gives no description of its appearance, diet or conservation status, so this entry is limited to the family, the genus, the two countries of its range and the local Kalam name that the source records.
