The Ethiopian amphibious rat also known as the Ethiopian water mouse (Nilopegamys plumbeus) is an insectivorous and semiaquatic species of rodent in the monotypic genus Nilopegamys of the family Muridae. There has only been one known specimen. It was found along the Lesser Abay River near its source at an altitude of 2600 m in the highlands of northwestern Ethiopia in 1928. N. plumbeus is considered to be the most aquatically adapted African murid; its unusually large brain is thought to be one consequence of this lifestyle. The species is considered to be critically endangered or possibly extinct, since its habitat has been severely damaged by overgrazing and monoculture.

  • Nilopegamys plumbeus és una espècie de rosegador de la família dels múrids. És conegut a partir d'un sol espècimen, que fou trobat a una altitud de 2.600 msnm al nord-oest d'Etiòpia. Es tracta del múrid africà més adaptat als medis aquàtics. Podria estar extint, car no se n'ha trobat cap altre espècimen des de la dècada del 1920 i l'hàbitat que ocupava s'ha deteriorat completament des d'aleshores. El seu nom específic, plumbeus, significa 'plumbi' en llatí. (ca)

  • Nilopegamys plumbeus är ett mycket sällsynt däggdjur i familjen råttdjur. Efter upptäckten 1927 hittades inga fler individer. Kanske är arten utdöd. På grund av kroppens form antas att arten är en aktiv simmare medan andra medlemmar av Colomys-släktgruppen stannar vid vattendragens strandlinje. Levnadssättet antas vara lika som hos fiskråttor som lever i Sydamerika eller hos Australiska vattenråttor. (sv)
