What is the technical name for the rodent that lived with Gallotia goliath on the island of Tenerife?
Tenerife giant rat The Tenerife giant rat ("Canariomys bravoi") is an extinct species of rodent endemic to the island of Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands, Spain. Many remains have been found during archeological digs. Most remains are from the Pleistocene. Radiocarbon dating has placed some of the finds in the late Pleistocene.
Transandinomys Transandinomys is a genus of rodents in the tribe Oryzomyini of family Cricetidae. It includes two species—"T. bolivaris" and "T. talamancae"—found in forests from Honduras in Central America south and east to southwestern Ecuador and northwestern Venezuela in northern South America. Until 2006, its members were included in the genus "Oryzomys", but phylogenetic analysis showed that they are not closely related to the type species of that genus, and they have therefore been placed in a new genus. They may be most closely related to genera like "Hylaeamys" and "Euryoryzomys", which contain very similar species. Both species of "Transandinomys" have had eventful taxonomic histories.
