Greater short-tailed gerbil

Mammals

The greater short-tailed gerbil, Dipodillus maghrebi, is a rodent found mainly in Morocco. It belongs to the genus Dipodillus, a genus of gerbils, and sits within the family Muridae of the order Rodentia. The name was first published by Schlitter and Setzer in 1972, and the GBIF backbone writes that authority in brackets. The Wikipedia entry is a short stub that gives only the Moroccan range and cites the Mammal Species of the World reference of Musser and Carleton (2005) as its authority, so this record states no habitat, diet or conservation details that the sources it was written from do not give. Those facts are still owed to a later fill from sources that state them.
