Rwandan shaggy rat

The Rwandan shaggy rat (Dasymys rwandae) is a species of shaggy marsh rat, a group of rodents in the genus Dasymys. It is endemic to north-western Rwanda, close to the Virunga Mountains, so it is known only from that small part of Africa. Its Wikipedia article is a short stub that gives its range and links to the list of mammals of Rwanda, and it says nothing about the animal's appearance, diet, habits or conservation status. Those details are therefore not claimed here and remain open for later research with fuller sources, such as a regional mammal atlas or the assessment of the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
