Papagomys

Papagomys armandvillei †Papagomys theodorverhoeveni Papagomys is a genus of very large rats in the tribe Rattini of the subfamily Murinae, with body masses of 600–2,500 grams (1.3–5.5 lb).

[1] It contains two species, which are known only from the Indonesian island of Flores:[2] A possible unnamed third species is also known from subfossil remains.

[1] Both species have records extending to the early Late Pleistocene.

[3] The species are thought to be terrestrial, preferring closed habitats, with P. armandvillei known to engage in burrowing.

They are thought to be omnivores, consuming leaves, fruit and invertebrates.
