Nguru spiny mouse

Mammals

The Nguru spiny mouse, Acomys ngurui, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae found in Tanzania. Its scientific name places it in the genus Acomys, the spiny mice. The English Wikipedia article about it is a one sentence stub that gives only the scientific name, the family and the country, so this entry states only those facts. The article says nothing about its appearance, habitat, diet, behaviour, lifespan or conservation status, and those details remain to be added from other sources.
