Muennink's spiny rat (Tokudaia muenninki) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae.[2] Endemic to Okinawa Island, Japan, its natural habitat is temperate forests. The karyotype has 2n = 44.[2] Its sex chromosomes are abnormally large, while the other two species in Tokudaia have lost their Y chromosome.[3]
