Megalomys camerhogne

Extinct species of rodent

Megalomys camerhogne is an extinct species of giant rice rat from Grenada in the genus Megalomys. It is known only from Pearls, an archeological site in Saint Andrew dated to about 400 to 1650 CE. Though there are no historical records of its occurrence on Grenada, it is likely that the species survived until European contact in the 16th century. Its extinction may be related to competition with black rats or to predation by the small Indian mongoose, which was introduced to Grenada in the 1870s.
