Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox
The Sulawesi giant rat (Taeromys dominator) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae.[1] The species is endemic to Sulawesi in Indonesia, where it inhabits forests at elevations from sea level to the tree line.[2] It is frugivorous and semiarboreal.[2] While not currently listed as threatened, it is impacted by both habitat destruction and subsistence hunting.[2] In 2021, it was transferred from the monotypic genus Paruromys back to Taeromys, where it was previously placed by Henry Jacob Victor Sody in 1941.[3]
