Description
Crateromys schadenbergi Meyer 1895
Crateromys schadenbergi Meyer 1895, Abh. Mus. Dresden, 6: 1.
Type Locality: Philippines, N Luzon Isl, Mountain Province, Mt Data.
Vernacular Names: Luzon Crateromys.
Distribution: Greater Luzon Faunal Region in the Philippines. Endemic to the mountains of N Luzon (Heaney et al., 1998; Oliver et al., 1993; Sanborn, 1952 a).
Conservation: IUCN – Vulnerable.
Discussion: The largest-bodied of all the species of Crateromys and an arboreal inhabitant of oak-pine forest where it builds stick-nests in tree crowns for shelter (Oliver et al., 1993; Heaney et al., 1998). In many ways, C. schadenbergi is an ecological and morphological equivalent of large-bodied tropical tree squirrels (Sciuridae), which do not occur in the Greater Luzon Faunal Region.
