Rupicolous gerbil

Mammals

The rupicolous gerbil (Dipodillus rupicola) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae that, according to its Wikipedia article, is found only in Mali. Its natural habitats are dry savanna and rocky areas. In the Global Biodiversity Information Facility backbone the name Dipodillus rupicola is treated as a synonym of Gerbillus rupicola, a species described in 2002 by Granjon, Aniskin, Volobouev and Sicard, so the animal may also be found under that genus name. The linked IUCN Red List assessment is Least Concern, and the Wikipedia article cites a 2017 Red List assessment by Granjon for the species.
