Shortridge's rat, Thallomys shortridgei, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in South Africa, so its whole known range lies inside one country, and its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry shrubland. It was named by Oldfield Thomas and Martin Hinton in 1923 and belongs to the genus Thallomys. The English Wikipedia article is a short stub that gives its range, habitat and naming authority but no detail on its diet, behaviour or population, so none is claimed here.
