Osgood's rat

Mammals

Osgood's rat, Rattus osgoodi, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. According to its Wikipedia article it is found only in Lâm Đồng Province in the Central Highlands (Tây Nguyên) of southern Vietnam. Its name references Wilfred Hudson Osgood. The article is a short stub that gives the scientific name, the family, the restricted range and the origin of the name, and it does not describe the animal's habitat, diet, size or conservation. This entry records those facts and nothing further, so that every statement here rests on the one article that was read.
