Nesomys narindaensis (SciiFii)

The northwestern nesomys (Nesomys narindaensis) is a is a species of rodent in the family Nesomyidae that originally lived in northwestern Madagascar during the late Pleistocene to the early Holocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and, once its natural habitat was brought back, reintroduced throughout its former range to help boost biodiversity. The northwestern nesomy is the largest known species of the Nesomys genus, with the head of 61.3 mm, longer than in the second largest species, the western nesomys (Nesomys lambertoni), which has a skull of 50.3–53.8 mm. Nocturnal and solitary, it lives mainly on the ground, but it can climb and primarily eats plant matter, such as fruits, seeds, roots, and stems. Little is known about the reproductive behavior and seasonality of the northwestern nesomys. However, female northwestern nesomys are known to produce litters of up to three offspring. The conservation status of the northwestern nesomys is Vulnerable due to habitat loss and overhunting, however, thanks to the conservationists, the northwestern nesomys is a protected species.
