Eller man in 1961 recognized seven subspecies, with possible primary division between northern and southern populations. V. C. Agrawal and S.

The Indian Bush Rat is a medium-sized, rather vole-like rat with broad, blunt head,stocky build, and short, thick tail. Adult fur is typically coarse and shaggy, guard hairs prominent, spines variably developed; fur is longer and softer in higher-elevation populations. Dorsal fur is yellow-brown to gray-brown, flecked with black, typically darker along mid-back than on flanks. Contour hairs slate-gray basally, with tawny yellow tips; spines pale; guard hairs dark along entire length. Ventral fur is pale yellow to roots or with gray bases, proportions of two morphs varying between populations. Gradual transition from dorsal to ventral coloration on flanks. Head has patches of buff fur on vibrissal pads, around eyes, and at base of ears. Vibrissae are moderately long and fine, mostly black, folding back to base of ears. Ears rounded, moderately large, clothed with short brown hairs. Tail 69-102% of head-body length, with overlapping scales and short, coarse hairs; bicolored from base to tip, scales and hairs dark brown on upper surface and yellowish gray below. Limbs are relatively short, concolorous with flanks. Upper surfaces of feet are flecked withdarker hairs; skin of plantar surfaces gray. Forefeet have four functional digits; first digit reduced to nubbin bearing flattened nail. Hindfeet have five digits, first and fifth short; all bear weakly curved claws. Four mammae on each side (two pectoral and two inguinal). Skin on body is thin and easily torn. Distinctive odor was described by A. C. Tutein-Nolthenius in 1932 as “fairly strong, and quite peculiar”. Cranium is distinguished by broad upper incisor with dark orange enamel and grooved outer surface; molars proportionately very large, broad and strongly cuspidate, and low-crowned; auditory bullae moderately large. Karyotype is 2n = 54 (0—4 supplementary B chromosomes). Upland Sri Lankan population (nuwara) has unusually thick and soft fur, with narrow spines and dorsum darker than in typical form; subspecies

Found in a variety of natural habitats across multiple biomes up to ¢.2000 m, from semi-evergreen and deciduous forests to shrublands and grasslands, including wet “patana” grasslands in Sri Lanka. In Nepal, confined to “terai” habitat. In drier regions, often associated with watercourses or wetlands. Throughout range this species occurs also in anthropogenic habitats, including orchards, coffee plantations, and cereal crops.

Indian Bush Rats feed on grass stems and roots, seeds, berries, young shoots, buds and blossoms of coffee bushes, and citrus fruit in orchards. Dental morphology and pattern of microwear suggest strong preference for grasses.

|

Reproduction occurs year-round, with litter sizes of 4-11 (average 7-3) reported in Rajasthan, India. Breeding restricted to spring and summer in south-east Iran, with smaller litters (3—4) “usual.” Breeding in Sri Lanka is “in the early part of the year,” with litter size “about 3.” Nests usually constructed above ground, less often or rarely in burrows; nest made from dry grass stems, globular and 15-25 cm in diameter, and typically atbase of grass tussock or dense shrub, sometimes inside log or among tree roots. Simple linear burrow with two bulbous chambers and two entrances reported from Madhya Pradesh, India.

Anecdotal accounts of nests occupied singly apart from when females are rearing young suggest a solitary lifestyle. Areas occupied by this species have well-marked runs or paths between nests and feeding areas.

Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. Listed in Schedule V (Vermin) of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972. Formerly an agricultural pest of coffee plantations in Sri Lanka, and prone to dramatic population changes. Now listed by D. K. Weerakoon as Endangered in Sri Lanka.
