The Panay cloudrunner (Crateromys heaneyi cloud rat , a squirrel-like rodent that is found on the island of Panay in the Philippines . It is the most endangered rodent species in Panay, and one of the only few known cloud rat species in the world.
Discovery [ edit ]
The Panay cloudrunner was discovered by western science in 1987, and was described as a new species in 1996 by Robert Kennedy of the Cincinnati Museum of Natural History and Pedro Gonzales of the National Museum of the Philippines . The late date of discovery was because the lack of forest cover on Panay which led to the island being largely ignored by biologists.[2]
Description [ edit ]
The Panay cloudrunner is a little over 600 mm long, with grizzled greyish-brown fur and a long, bushy tail making up more than half of the body length. It weighs around 1 kilogram.[3]
The cloudrunner is nocturnal and arboreal , and nests during the day in the hollow of a large tree. Its diet includes bananas, guavas, corn, papayas, and assorted leaves.[3] [4]
Conservation [ edit ]
Continued deforestation on the island of Panay is the major threat to this species, and the animal is now confined to remnant forest in a mountain range on the western end of the island.[3]
