Griselda's striped grass mouse

Mammals

Griselda's striped grass mouse, also called Griselda's lemniscomys (Lemniscomys griselda), is a rodent in the family Muridae. It lives in central and southern Africa and has been recorded in Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Zambia, where its natural habitat is dry savanna. Oldfield Thomas described it in 1904 from material collected in northern Angola by W. J. Ansorge, under the name Arvicanthis dorsalis griselda, and it was later placed in the genus Lemniscomys within the tribe Arvicanthini. The Mammal Diversity Database lists it as a living species in the Afrotropical realm and gives its IUCN Red List status as Least Concern.
