Earless water rat

The earless water rat (''Crossomys moncktoni'') is a New Guinea rodent, part of the ''Hydromys'' group of the subfamily of Old World rats and mice (Murinae). It is the only species of the genus ''Crossomys''. This species is probably most closely related to ''Baiyankamys''. It is still unclear to which species this group is related. It is one of the most aquatically adapted rodents of the world.〔
==History of discovery==
This animal was first described in 1907 by the British mammalogist Oldfield Thomas, based on a single specimen caught by one Mr. C. A. W. Monckton, after whom the species was named, near Brown River, Central Province, south-east Papua New Guinea. Only in July 1950 a second specimen was captured. Since then, several other examples have been caught in the mountains of eastern New Guinea, but the earless water rat remains a rather rare species. The scientific name means "Monckton's fringed mouse", which refers to the collector of the original specimen (C. A. W. Monckton) and to the fringe of hairs on the tail.〔Flannery, T.F. (1995).
