A unique species of rat that doesn’t chew was discovered in Indonesia. The animal with a long, pointed snout is the only rodent out of more than 2200 known species that does not have molars and instead has bicuspid upper incisors.
Rats were found in the mountainous rainforest of southern Sulawesi Island on Mount Latimojong and 100 km northwest on Mount Gandangdewata. They lives off earthworms.
