Mullah spiny mouse

The Mullah spiny mouse (Acomys mullah) is a small rodent in the family Muridae, the family that holds the Old World mice and rats. It is found in the Horn of Africa, with records from Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry shrubland and rocky areas, so it belongs to the dry, rocky country of the region rather than to forest or wetland. The available account of the species is short: it gives the range and habitat but does not state its size, diet, breeding or population, and this entry records only what that account supports.
