The name Bosavi woolly rat is still provisional and a scientific name has yet to be given.[2] The species was discovered during the filming of Lost Land of the Volcano, a BBC wildlife documentary, in the extinct volcanic crater of Mount Bosavi, over {{convert|1000|m}} above sea level. The {{convert|82|cm}} long rat weighs around {{convert|1.5|kg}} and has a silver-brown coat of long, thick fur. A captured specimen showed no fear of humans.[2] See also
