Ichthyomys

	Ichthyomys ''Ichthyomys'' is a genus of semiaquatic Neotropical rodents in the family Cricetidae. It contains the following species: * Crab-eating rat (''Ichthyomys hydrobates'') * Ecuadorean crab-eating rat (''I. orientalis'') * Pine's crab-eating rat (''I. pinei'') * Pittier's crab-eating rat (''I. pittieri'') * Stolzmann's crab-eating rat (''I. stolzmanni'') * Tweedy's crab-eating rat (''I. tweedii'') Members of the genus tend to be nocturnal and live along fast-flowing streams, where they feed on freshwater invertebrates such as crabs Crabs are decapod crustaceans of the infraorder Brachyura (meaning "short tailed" in Greek), which typically have a very short projecting tail-like abdomen, usually hidden entirely under the thorax. Their exoskeleton is often thickened and ha .... References Rodent genera Taxa named by Oldfield Thomas Taxonomy articles created by Polbot {{Sigmodontinae-stub ...

	Stolzmann's Crab-eating Rat Stolzmann's crab-eating rat (''Ichthyomys stolzmanni'') is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found in Ecuador and Peru. The species is believed to be Nocturnality, nocturnal and semiaquatic, and has been found at an elevation range of 900 to 1700 m. A survey in 2010 indicates that it is becoming a nuisance at local trout farms in the Peruvian puna. Etymology The Specific name (zoology), specific name, ''stolzmanni'', is in honor of Polish zoologist Jan Sztolcman, Jean Stanislas Stolzmann.Beolens, Bo; Watkins, Michael; Grayson, Michael (2011).

	Ichthyomys Pittieri Pittier's crab-eating rat (''Ichthyomys pittieri'') is a species of semiaquatic rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is endemic to Venezuela. The natural habitats of this species are rivers and swamps. Its karyotype has 2n = 92 and FNa = 98. This was previously thought to be the highest chromosome number known for a mammal, but it has since been found that the plains viscacha rat or red viscacha rat (''Tympanoctomys barrerae The plains viscacha rat, plains vizcacha rat, red viscacha rat, or red vizcacha rat (''Tympanoctomys barrerae'') is a species of rodent in the family Octodontidae native to Argentina.

	Ichthyomys Tweedii Tweedy's crab-eating rat (''Ichthyomys tweedii'') is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found in two disjointed regions in western Ecuador and central Panama. The species is found near fast-flowing streams in primary and secondary forest, and is known from elevations of 900 to 1700 m. It is presumed that like other members of its genus, it nocturnal and semiaquatic, and feeds on freshwater invertebrates, such as crabs. This rodent is threatened by habitat destruction Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss or habitat reduction) occurs when a natural habitat is no longer able to support its native species. The organisms once living there have either moved elsewhere, or are dead, leading to a decrease ... and water pollution.
