Red spiny rat

Mammals

The red spiny rat, Maxomys surifer, also known as the Indomalayan maxomys, is a rodent species of the family Muridae that inhabits forests in Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam and on the islands of Java, Borneo and Sumatra. In China it has been recorded only in the far south of Yunnan. The available article gives little more about its appearance, diet or conservation rating, so those facts are left to other sources.
