Barbour's vlei rat, Otomys barbouri, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae, the large family that holds most of the world's rats and mice. It is found in Kenya and Uganda. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland, which means it lives in the cool upland country of East Africa rather than in the lowlands. It is threatened by habitat loss. The Wikipedia article that describes it is a short stub and gives no figures for body size, lifespan, diet or population.
