Lund's Atlantic tree-rat, (Phyllomys lundi), is a spiny rat species found in Brazil.[2]
The Atlantic Tree Rat thrives in a broad-leaf evergreen rain forest with a lush undergrowth. It is best with a secondary forest; a forest that has regrown after an event cleared some of the growth for new growth to start.[2]
