Mammals

Brockman's gerbil, Gerbillus brockmani, is a rodent of the subfamily Gerbillinae that is endemic to Somaliland. According to its English Wikipedia article it is known only from its type locality, Burao in central Somaliland. The article is a short stub and gives no description of its appearance, habitat, diet, lifespan or conservation status, so this entry states only its identity, its subfamily and its very restricted known range, and leaves the remaining details to be added from other sources.
