A possum that looked very similar to that one (but without the markings on its face) was featured in one scene of Aguirre, the Wrath of God -- Aguirre gives his daughter the baby possum as a pet. But that was in Peru, not Indonesia.

Rodents of unusual size? I don't even think they exist.

What is involved in modern data collection - did they do no harm, or bag the things?

And did anyone make meals of them?

I've seen some subway rats pretty close in size to that.
