Neumann's grass rat

Neumann's grass rat (Arvicanthis neumanni) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae, the family that holds the true rats and mice of the Old World. Its scientific name places it in the genus Arvicanthis, the grass rats. According to its Wikipedia article, it is found in Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan and Tanzania, and possibly in Kenya. Its natural habitats are dry savanna and subtropical or tropical dry shrubland. The article cites a Red List entry titled Arvicanthis somalicus and the Mammal Species of the World treatment of Muroidea by Musser and Carleton (2005). It gives no further detail on the diet or behaviour of the animal, so this entry covers its identity, its placement, its range and its habitat only.
