The Tawitawi forest rat, also called the Tawitawi Island rat, is a rodent named Rattus tawitawiensis in the family Muridae. According to its Wikipedia article it is found only in Tawi-Tawi, Philippines, which makes it a species tied to one locality within the country. The article is a two sentence stub that gives the two common names, the scientific name, the family and the range, and it states nothing about the animal's habitat, diet, size or way of life. This entry therefore stays at that level: the names, the classification and the Philippine locality, without any detail that the page does not support.
