The Aceh rat (Rattus blangorum) is a species of
Data Deficient on the IUCN Red List because only two specimens have ever been recorded, and little is known about the species.[1] The species was first regarded as its own species and then as a subspecies of the Malayan field rat (Rattus tiomanicus), but was once again considered distinct due to its small body size.[2]
The Aceh rat is native to Indonesia, known only in the type locality of Blangnanga Base Camp in the Aceh foothills of Gunung Leuser National Park at 1,097 m (3,599 ft).[1] It is believed that the Aceh rat prefers lowland forests.[1]
