Simalur rat

Mammals

The Simalur rat, Rattus simalurensis, is a rodent of the family Muridae and a member of the genus Rattus. The English Wikipedia article says it is found only in Indonesia, on Simalur island and on the nearby islands of Siumat, Lasia and Babi, so its recorded range is a small group of islands rather than a mainland area. The article cites the Muroidea chapter of Mammal Species of the World and offers no description of appearance, diet or conservation status, so this entry records only the classification and the island range that the source states.
