summit rat

The summit rat has a mutualistic relationship with a species of giant pitcher plant, Nepenthes rajah.

The summit rat (Rattus baluensis) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae.

Whereas the mountain treeshrew visits pitchers during daylight hours, the summit rat is primarily active at night; this may be an example of resource partitioning.

In 2011, it was reported that N. rajah has a similar mutualistic relationship with the summit rat (Rattus baluensis).

Nepenthes rajah has a remarkable mutualism with two unrelated small mammals, the mountain treeshrew (Tupaia montana) and the summit rat (Rattus baluensis).

The "Hunters and Collectors" show pulls together an exotic range of 300 artefacts from carved bullet holders and a Dayak war-coat of bark and fish scales to natural history specimens such as an over 2-meter leatherback turtle and a rare summit rat.
