Bocage's rock rat is a rodent with the scientific name Aethomys bocagei. It is a member of the family Muridae and of the genus Aethomys, the rock rats of Africa. The species is found in Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, dry savanna and moist savanna, so it lives across a gradient from open wooded country to savanna grassland rather than in a single vegetation type. The Global Biodiversity Information Facility lists its IUCN Red List category as Least Concern, meaning it is not currently regarded as being at serious risk of extinction in the wild.
