The eastern Mindanao gymnure (Podogymnura intermedia) is a species of gymnure in the genus Podogymnura . It is known only from Mount Hamiguitan and Mount Kampalili, two mountains in the eastern part of the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. It was first named in 2023 by a team of researchers led by Danilo Balete.[1]
It is intermediate in size between the larger Dinagat gymnure (Podogymnura aureospinula) and the smaller Mindanao gymnure (P. truei) and P. minima , whence the name intermedia. There are some differences between the populations from Mt. Hamiguitan and Mt. Kampalili; for instance, the Kampalili gymnures have softer fur.[1]
