The Ethiopian thicket rat is a rodent in the family Muridae whose scientific name is Grammomys minnae. It belongs to Grammomys, the genus of thicket rats, and it was described in 1984 by Rainer Hutterer and Fritz Dieterlen. The species is found only in Ethiopia, which makes it a national endemic, and its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry shrubland. It is threatened by habitat loss, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature rates it Vulnerable. The encyclopedia account this entry draws on is brief, and it does not describe the animal's size, diet, breeding or behavior, so those details are left open here rather than guessed.
