The pouched gerbil (Desmodilliscus braueri) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is the only species in the genus Desmodilliscus and in the subtribe Desmodilliscina. According to the Wikipedia article that serves as this entry's source, it is found across western Africa from Mauritania east to Sudan, and its natural habitat is dry savanna. The article calls it probably the smallest member of the family Muridae: it weighs 6 to 14 grams, and its length is 4 to 8 centimetres without the shorter, poorly haired tail. No diet, lifespan, population figure or conservation status is given there, so those details are left blank here rather than guessed.
