      The bamboo rats are really confusing, not least because what you find on Google Images are not particularly trustworthy or show old museum specimens.

      I think this is the Large Bamboo Rat though (i.e. Rhizomys sumatrensis) because the tail seems much too long for R. sinensis and the pink tail-tip is characteristic. It also looks too "shaggy" for R. sinensis.
