Angolan marsh rat

Mammals

The Angolan marsh rat, Dasymys nudipes, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in Angola, Botswana, Namibia and Zambia, a belt of southern Africa that the English Wikipedia article lists country by country. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland and swamps, which fits the common name of marsh rat. The article states that it is threatened by habitat loss. It rests on the Musser and Carleton treatment of the superfamily Muroidea in Mammal Species of the World, third edition, published by Johns Hopkins University Press in 2005, and it gives no measurements, diet, breeding details or numerical conservation category.
