Harwood's gerbil

Mammals

Harwood's gerbil, Gerbillus harwoodi, is a small rodent of the gerbil subfamily Gerbillinae, native to the east African countries of Kenya and Tanzania. Oldfield Thomas described it in 1901 under the name Dipodillus harwoodi, and a second name, Dipodillus luteus, published by Dollman in 1914, is treated as a synonym of it. The International Union for Conservation of Nature rates the species Least Concern, an assessment by F. Cassola dated 2016 and corrected in 2017. The Wikipedia article is a short stub that gives only this taxonomic and range information, so nothing is said here about its habitat, diet, behaviour or population, which the source does not state.
