Phloeomys pallidus. A real challenge to photograph. Their enclosure has such a maze of assorted branches, palm fronds and leaves that the cloud rats are hard to see, even when they come out of their favourite corner to feed. In addition the lighting is dim and from different sources, producing odd colour casts in my photos, which I have tried to correct.
But the cloud rats are wonderful.
 
That's a cracking capture. 1/13th of a sec... I'm amazed it was stationary that long!
