Palm rat

Mammals

The palm rat, Rattus palmarum, is a rodent in the family Muridae found in the Nicobar Islands, on Car Nicobar and Great Nicobar. Its source article gives its natural habitats as subtropical or tropical dry forest and subtropical or tropical mangrove forest, so it lives in both inland forest and coastal mangrove on these islands. The article is short and gives no measurements, diet, breeding or population information, and none of that is asserted here.
