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.
