The Sula rat, Rattus elaphinus, is a rodent of the family Muridae and the genus Rattus. It is found only in Indonesia, on the islands of Taliabu and Mangole in the Sula Archipelago. On the neighboring island of Sanana the only members of the genus recorded are the introduced Rattus tanezumi and Rattus exulans, so the Sula rat is not part of the native fauna there. The species is catalogued in the mammal checklist Mammal Species of the World by Musser and Carleton, which is the reference listed on its Wikipedia article. The article is short and gives no description of the animal itself, so its appearance, habitat and diet are not recorded here.
