Neusticomys
''Neusticomys'' is a genus of semiaquatic, animalivorous South American rodents in the family Cricetidae. The term ''Neusticomys'' derives from the two ancient greek words (), meaning "able to swim", and (), meaning "mouse, rat". ''N. monticolous'' and ''N. vossi'' primarily inhabit montante regions of west Columbia and eastern Ecuador, with the former noted to occur in the Andean Cordillera and the Occidental mountain range at elevations of 1,800-3,750 meters. The rest inhabit tropical lowland forests primarily in the northern and eastern regions of the Amazon rainforest, whereas ''N. peruviensis'' is an endemic species to Peru. This genus contains the following seven species: * Ferreira's fish-eating rat (''Neusticomys ferreirai'') — Percequillo, Carmignotto & Silva, 2005 * Montane fish-eating rat (''N. monticolus'') — Anthony, 1921 * Musso's fish-eating rat (''N. mussoi'') — Ochoa G. & Soriano, 1991 * Oyapock's fish-eating rat (''N. oyapocki'') — (Dubost & Pette ...

Neusticomys Monticolus
The montane fish-eating rat (''Neusticomys monticolus'') is a species of semiaquatic rodent in the family Cricetidae. It inhabits the Andes Mountains of Colombia and Ecuador. Description Montane fish-eating rats are moderately sized rodents, with a head-body length of , a tail long, and a body weight averaging . Unlike all other fish-eating rats of the genus ''Neusticomys'', it has dull greyish-black fur, consisting of a thick, velvety underfur and occasional dark guard hairs. The fur is uniform over most of the body, and, unlike in many other rats, remains thick over the tail. However, the toes of all four feet are white, and some individuals have white spots on the upper body, the tip of the tail, or on the chest region. The ears are unusually large for a member of its tribe, and are visible above the thick fur. Like other ichthyomyine rodents, montane fish-eating rats have feet adapted for swimming in water. However, the adaptations are less extreme in this species than in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
