“…The Ryukyu long-furred rat Diplothrix legata is endemic to the central Ryukyus (Amami-Oshima Island, Tokunoshima Island, and northern Okinawajima Island) (Kaneko 2005). This species is the largest native arboreal murid in Japan, with an adult head and body length (HBL) of 33 cm (Iwasa 2015).…”

The Ryukyu long-furred rat Diplothrix legata is endemic to the central Ryukyus and is the largest arboreal murid in Japan. This species is listed as ‘Endangered’ in the IUCN Red List. Invasive mammalian carnivores have been recorded as predators of this species; however, information on native predators is limited. We observed a juvenile Ryukyu long-furred rat caught by a jungle crow Corvus macrorhynchos connectens in a nesting tree cavity. Our observations suggest that jungle crows may be among the top predators in this area. On the same night on which the predation was observed, adult Ryukyu long-furred rats carried juveniles away from the tree cavity. It is possible that the adult individual left their nest and moved to other sites to avoid further predation.
