Charming thicket rat

The charming thicket rat (Thamnomys venustus) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda and Uganda, where its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. The threat it faces is habitat loss. The source article also notes that it is described as data deficient under the name Thamnomys schoutedeni, so older references may use either scientific name for the animal. That article is brief and does not describe the animal appearance, diet, size or behaviour, so none of those are stated here, and they remain to be filled from a fuller source.
