Western gerbil

The western gerbil (Gerbillus hesperinus) is a gerbil whose range lies mainly in northern Morocco. Its English Wikipedia article is a short one, but it records the fact that matters most for a reader weighing the animal's place in nature: the International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the species as Endangered. The article's only reference is the 2019 Red List entry for Gerbillus hesperinus by Aulagnier, a database record that includes a brief justification of why the species is at risk and the criteria used. The article states nothing further about its diet, habitat, behaviour or numbers, so this entry keeps to what the source supports and leaves those details to a later reading of the Red List account.
