Macmillan's thicket rat

Mammals

Macmillan's thicket rat (Grammomys macmillani) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae that lives across a wide belt of Africa. Wikipedia lists it from the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda, and the Mammal Diversity Database adds records from further west, in Senegal, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Cote d'Ivoire, and from Sudan. Its natural habitats include moist lowland forest, swamps, seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland, shrub-dominated wetlands and urban areas. R. C. Wroughton described it in 1907 from a specimen taken at Wouida, north of Lake Turkana in Ethiopia, and the database lists several other common names, among them Bunting's thicket rat. Its IUCN Red List status is Least Concern.
