Tweedy's crab-eating rat (Ichthyomys tweedii) is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae.[2] 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.[1] It is presumed that like other members of its genus, it nocturnal and semiaquatic, and feeds on freshwater invertebrates, such as crabs.[1] This rodent is threatened by habitat destruction and water pollution.[1]
