If you are a nocturnal animal and love supper, this got to be your spirit animal in the Year of Rat.

From its expression, the Luzon giant cloud rat, holding onto half-eaten corn, is clearly having the same regrets as us for snacking or having late-night suppers.

Nocturnal rats living in treetops

If you have not heard of this unusual-looking creature before—that’s because it can only be found in treetops at Luzon in the Philippines as you can tell by its name “cloud rat”.

The Luzon giant cloud rats are coated in rough white to grey fur with dark markings around its eyes, much like the dark circles that many of us might have after years of staying up late.

Visitors can now head over to the Singapore Night Safari to catch a glimpse of these rodents.

This Chinese New Year, the keepers also tucked some of their favourite nuts and vegetables into an enrichment device shaped like a firecracker.

This is to encourage the Luzon giant cloud rats to forage for food.
