), from which it is distinguished by its shorter tail and its larger size. Pelage is short and woolly to the touch but looks wiry. Dorsal pelage is dark grizzled ash gray, and ventral pelage is white. Feet are broad and naked. Ears are short and silvery pink; vibrissae are long, and black or white. Tail is relatively long (73% of head-body length) and blackish brown. Skull is similarto that of the King Giant Rat, but not so deep. There are two pairs of mammae, both inguinal.

Classified as Critically Endangered (Possibly Extinct) on The [UCN Red List. The Emperor Giant Rat is known only from the three original specimens collected between 1886 and 1888, and is possibly extinct. Another specimen exists just as a skin and may represent this species, but it may also represent the King Giant Rat. Although the exact reason for the Emperor Giant Rat’s decline and pos- sible extinction is unknown, overhunting and loss of suitable habitat, or competition, predation, and disease transmission from introduced species may have played varying roles in it. Terrestrial habits may have been the downfall of the species, in contrast to the more recently seen King Giant Rat. Further surveys are needed in order to confirm its continued existence on the island.
