The little soft-furred rat (Rattus mollicomulus) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae.[2] It is found only on the upper slopes of Mount Lampobattang in Bantaeng Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. It gets its name from its soft, silky fur. It is smaller than a roof rat, but larger than a house mouse.
