Angolan vlei rat

Mammals

The Angolan vlei rat (Otomys anchietae) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. The Wikipedia article that serves as this entry's source says it is found only in Angola, which makes it a country endemic, and that its natural habitats are dry savanna, moist savanna, and subtropical or tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland. The article adds that the species is threatened by habitat loss. It is only a few lines long, so it gives no body measurements, diet, lifespan, population figure or conservation category, and those details are left blank here rather than guessed.
