Range of the Sody's tree rat

Sody's tree rat (Kadarsanomys sodyi) is a rodent species in the family Muridae that has been recorded only in bamboo forest in Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park, West Java, Indonesia.[1] It was first recorded during surveys carried out between 1933 and 1935 at an altitude of 1,000 m (3,300 ft). It is dark brown and has yellow to ochre spots. Its tail is uniform brown. Its head-to-body length ranges from 18 to 21 cm (7.1 to 8.3 in) with a 27 to 30.5 cm (10.6 to 12.0 in) long tail. Its long feet indicate that it is adapted to living in trees.[2]
