                    [Summary] => Believe it or not: There’s a rat species that does not eat rice (palay).

The rodent has been identified as Luzon Montane striped shrew rat, which belongs to the Order Rodentis, Family Muridae, and genus Chrometys.

At maturity, the species weighs 200 grams and has a body length of seven inches. Its tail is 12 centimeters long.
