Lowe's gerbil, Dipodillus lowei, is a gerbil distributed mainly in Sudan, with the Jebel Marra area named as its range. Its English Wikipedia article says that fewer than 250 individuals of the species are thought to persist in the wild, and the IUCN Red List entry it cites lists the species as data deficient. The species is named after the collector Willoughby Prescott Lowe. The article gives no description of its appearance, habitat, diet or lifespan, so this entry states only its identity, range, reported population and name origin and leaves the other details to further sources.
