Hutterer's brush-furred mouse

Mammals

Hutterer's brush-furred mouse, also called Hutterer's brush-furred rat, is a rodent of the family Muridae with the scientific name Lophuromys huttereri. The name was published by Verheyen, Colyn and Hulselmans in 1996, and the species sits in the genus Lophuromys, the brush-furred mice. It is known only from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, so its whole recorded range lies inside one country in central Africa. Its natural habitat is given as subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, meaning the warm, wet forest of low ground rather than mountains or open grassland. The Wikipedia account is brief, and the GBIF taxonomic backbone confirms the name as accepted within the family Muridae.
