Philippines once home to extinct giant “cloud rats”
The Philippines was once home to three previously unknown species of an unusual group of rodents with fluffy tails known as “giant cloud rats”, according to a new fossil discovery.
All three of the newly discovered species (Crateromys ballik, Carpomys dakal, and Batomys cagayanensis) are thought to be extinct.
The discovery was made by an international team of researchers, including from The Australian National University (ANU).
Buot, as the giant rats are known locally, are only found in the Philippines and typically live in trees and eat leaves, buds and seeds.
