The Sundaic mountain leopoldamys (Leopoldamys ciliatus) is a species of rodent from the family Muridae. It was formerly considered a subspecies of Edwards's long-tailed giant rat,[1] and it has one synonym: Leopoldamys setiger.[2]
The Sundaic mountain leopoldamys occurs in the montane forests of Sumatra, Indonesia, and peninsular Malaysia, typically at elevations above 1 km (0.62 mi).[1] It is a terrestrial, possibly arboreal species occurring in primary and degraded tropical moist forest.[1]
The Sundaic mountain leopoldamys is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN Red List due to a wide distribution, presumed large population, occurrence in a number of protected areas, degree of tolerance for habitat modification, and unlikely declination at the speed to qualify for a more threatened listing.[1] However, due to deforestation of its habitat for timber, firewood, and agricultural land, its population is decreasing.[1]
