Rattus tanezumi
Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is the atlas place where the Oriental House Rat is recorded, with records concentrating in the Philippines, India, Hong Kong SAR China, South Africa and Palau. This mammal has 928 open records across twelve countries. The atlas map follows the records of the family Muridae where they gather most thickly.
Recorded months differ by region, and each place page shows the months where the species has been documented locally.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Oriental House Rat as much as where it lives. Cells are up to 25 km across, and every location is generalised to its cell.
Generalised encounter areas, not exact locations. Each shape is a grid cell coloured by how likely the species is there.
Conservation status not assessed here yet, so every location is generalised to its grid cell.
