Mammals

The African groove-toothed rat, also called the mill rat, is a rodent with the scientific name Mylomys dybowskii. It belongs to the family Muridae, the large family that holds most of the world's rats and mice. Its recorded range is wide for a rodent of this kind and runs across central, western and eastern Africa: Angola, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Republic of the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland. It is threatened by habitat loss. The Wikipedia article that describes it is a short stub and gives no figures for body size, lifespan or population.
