When: September 3, 2019

Where: Texel Zoo Oosterend Texel, The Netherlands

Guess who loves fruit? These guys do!

Species: Northern Luzon Giant Cloud Rat (Noordelijke Luzon nevelrat)

Latin name: Phloeomys Pallidus

Originates from Luzon, the Philippines.

Current status: Least Concern

Did you know:

…Because of its relatively large size, they aren’t able to enter traditional small-mammal traps and this has resulted in little research in the species.

…They are sometimes considered a pest because of the damage they cause to agriculture and are hunted for food. Yet they are able to withstand hunting pressure and remain common and widespread.
