Sody's tree rat

Sody's tree rat (Kadarsanomys sodyi) is a rodent in the family Muridae that has been recorded only in bamboo forest in Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park, West Java, Indonesia. It was first recorded during surveys carried out between 1933 and 1935 at an altitude of 1,000 metres, and was described by M. Bartels in 1937 as Rattus canus sodyi. It is dark brown with yellow to ochre spots and a uniformly brown tail. Its head and body measure 18 to 21 centimetres and its tail 27 to 30.5 centimetres, and its long feet suggest that it is adapted to living in trees. The Mammal Diversity Database, which also calls it the Javan bamboo rat, records its IUCN Red List status as Endangered.
