Leopoldamys Neilli
Neill's long-tailed giant rat (''Leopoldamys neilli'') is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and possibly Myanmar. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry shrubland and rocky areas. ''Leopoldamys neilli'' is threatened by the destruction of limestone karst habitats. Six highly differentiated genetic lineages of ''Leopoldamys neilli'' were found in Kanchanaburi, West Central (Saraburi-Lopburi), East Central (Saraburi-Nakhon Ratchasima), Loei, Nan, and Phrae provinces of Thailand respectively.Alice Latinne, Surachit Waengsothorn, Vincent Herbreteau, Johan R.

Leopoldamys Ciliatus
The Sundaic mountain leopoldamys (''Leopoldamys ciliatus'') is a species of rodent from the family Muridae. It was formerly considered a subspecies of Edwards's long-tailed giant rat, and it has one synonym: ''Leopoldamys setiger''. The Sundaic mountain leopoldamys occurs in the montane forests of Sumatra, Indonesia, and peninsular Malaysia, typically at elevations above . It is a terrestrial, possibly arboreal species occurring in primary and degraded tropical moist forest. The Sundaic mountain leopoldamys is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN Red List due to a wide distribution, presumed large population, occurrence in a number of protected areas, degree of tolerance for habitat modification, and unlikely declination at the speed to qualify for a more threatened listing. However, due to deforestation Deforestation or forest clearance is the removal of a forest or stand of trees from land that is then converted to non-forest use. Deforestation can involve conversion o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Leopoldamys Milleti
Millet's leopoldamys (''Leopoldamys milleti'') is a species of rodent from the family Muridae. It lives in the Langbian highlands of southern Vietnam, although its distribution limits are currently unresolved. It is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, and though only a handful of museum specimens signify its existence, it is presumed to have a high, stable population. There are no apparent major threats to the species, and it occurs in a number of protected Vietnamese areas. Millet's leopoldamys is a large, terrestrial omnivore that prefers montane forest, but is tolerant of secondary forest. Millet's leopoldamys was originally recognized in 1922 by Herbert Christopher Robinson and Cecil Boden Kloss as a "remarkably distinct race" of Edwards's long-tailed giant rat. It remained described as such, while the Edwards's long-tailed giant rat went back and forth between the genera ''Rattus'' and ''Leopoldamys''.

Leopoldamys Siporanus
The Mentawai long-tailed giant rat (''Leopoldamys siporanus'') is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is endemic to the Mentawai Islands archipelago off the west coast of Sumatra, in Indonesia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forest. It is threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species. The organisms that previously inhabited the site are displaced or dead, thereby ....
