Cansdale's swamp rat

Mammals

Cansdale's swamp rat, Malacomys cansdalei, is a rodent in the family Muridae. It was described by Ansell in 1958. It is found in Ivory Coast and Ghana and possibly in Liberia, where its presence is not confirmed. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest. The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists it as Least Concern, an assessment by F. Cassola dated 2017. The Wikipedia article is a short stub that cites the Mammal Species of the World reference, so the animal's size, diet, lifespan and behaviour are not described here.
