Makundi's brush-furred rat

Mammals

Makundi's brush-furred rat (Lophuromys makundii) is a small rodent in the family Muridae. According to the Wikipedia article that serves as this entry's source, the species is found in Tanzania, and the article records nothing more about where in the country it lives. Its scientific name places it in the genus Lophuromys, and its common name groups it with the other brush-furred rats. The source gives no body measurements, diet, habitat, population figure or conservation status for this animal, so those details are left blank here rather than guessed. It is a little documented East African mammal whose entry rests, for now, on a single short encyclopedia article.
