Description
When: September 3, 2019
Where: Texel ZOO Oosterend Texel, The Netherlands
This is just one selection of the lunch the Clouded Rats were served - they'd each claimed their own pile, and the Treeshrew also managed to snag some pieces.
Fruit galore
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.
