The Lukolela swamp rat (Congomys lukolelae) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae, the large family of true mice and rats within the order Rodentia. The cited article states that it is found only in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which makes it an endemic of that country. Its natural habitat is given as subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, a low-lying humid forest. The same article notes that the species is threatened by habitat loss. The taxonomic reference the article cites is Wilson and Reeder, Mammal Species of the World, third edition, 2005. The source says nothing further about its appearance, diet or numbers, so those details are left open here rather than guessed.
