Van Deusen's rat

Van Deusen's rat, Rattus vandeuseni, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is endemic to the mountains of southeast Papua New Guinea, so it is found nowhere else in the world. The English Wikipedia article is a short stub that gives the scientific name, the family and this range, and it says nothing about the animal's habitat, diet, size or behaviour, or about the person it honours. This entry records those few supported facts only, with further detail left for sources that state it, rather than filling the gap with statements the page does not make.
