It is only found in pine and mossy forest at altitudes of {{convert|2000|-|2740|m|ft}} in the Central Cordillera of Luzon, the Philippines.[2] Relatively little is known about its behavior, but it is nocturnal, mainly arboreal and feeds on various types of vegetation.[2] It is rarer than the northern Luzon giant cloud rat,[1] a shorter-haired species that mainly occurs at lower elevations, but locally the giant bushy-tailed cloud rat remains moderately common in oak-pine forest.[2] The primary threats are hunting and habitat loss.[1] The appearance of the giant bushy-tailed cloud rat has been described as spectacular,[2] and it appears to be an equivalent of large tropical tree squirrels, which are not found in Luzon.[1] It weighs {{convert|1.35|-|1.5|kg|lb}} and is {{convert|73.5|-|76|cm|in}} long.[2] The very long, soft fur, which also covers the tail, is typically all black, but some individuals have white patches.[2] References1. ^1 2 3 {{Cite journal | author = Heaney, L. | author2 = Balete, D. | author3 = Rosell-Ambal, G. | author4 = Tabaranza, B. | author5 = Ong, P. | author6 = Ruedas, L. | author7 = Oliver, W. | last-author-amp = yes | title = Crateromys schadenbergi | journal = The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species | volume = 2008 | page = e.T5500A11233913 | publisher = IUCN | date = 2008 | url = http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/5500/0 | doi = 10.2305/IUCN.UK.2008.RLTS.T5500A11233913.en | access-date = 24 December 2017}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 Field Museum of Natural History (2010).
