The Lake Chad gerbil, also known as the Lake Chad tateril (Taterillus lacustris), is a species of rodent native to Cameroon and Nigeria, in the region around Lake Chad that its name recalls. Its natural habitats include dry savanna, subtropical or tropical dry shrubland and arable land, so it lives in open, dry country and also on farmed ground. Its Wikipedia article cites the 2005 treatment of the superfamily Muroidea by Musser and Carleton in Mammal Species of the World as its taxonomic reference, and it gives no measurements, diet or conservation status, which remain open in this entry.
