The Agag gerbil (Gerbillus agag) is a small rodent of the gerbil group, placed in the family Muridae and the genus Gerbillus. The taxonomic authority recorded for it is Thomas, 1903, and the GBIF backbone treats it as an accepted species. Its range is described as running mainly from southern Mauritania eastward to northern Nigeria and Sudan, a broad band of western and central Africa. The Wikipedia article on the species is only one sentence long and gives no measurements, diet, habitat or breeding details, so none are claimed here. The IUCN assessment relayed through GBIF lists the species as Data Deficient, which means the available information is too thin to judge how threatened it is.
