Rheomys raptor, also known as the Goldman's water mouse or Goldman's Ichthyomyine,[2] is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae.[3] This mouse is semiaquatic and its carnivorous diet includes invertebrates.[1] The conservation status of the species is rated as "least concern" because of its sizable population and the presence of several protected areas within its range.[1] However, deforestation and water pollution represent potential threats.[1]
