do any of the smart peoples on here have any information on the Flores giant rat Papagomys armandvellei? I can only find general info and not even much of that. I need to know specifics on where to find them (what sort of forest, altitude, and most especially specific localities on Flores)?
thanks...
 
I had the very same problem when looking for data about Papagomys armandvillei quite a while ago. If I happen to find something useful, I'll let you know and either post it here or send you a PM.
 
thanks (I knew you would answer this!). If I manage to find any on Flores I'll let you know where ;)
 
This is like the story of the giant rat of Sumatra; Dr Watson tells us that Sherlock Holmes solved the mystery - but he cannot write about it because 'the world is not yet ready' :)

@Chlidonias: Yeah, I confess: when it comes to searching for info about odd & unusual creatures (especially big rodents), I'm more than predictable..;)
Thanks in return!
