Coetzee's soft-furred mouse

Mammals

Coetzee's soft-furred mouse (Praomys coetzeei) is a species of mouse in the family Muridae, the large family of Old World mice and rats. It belongs to the genus Praomys, the soft-furred mice, a group of rodents that the English Wikipedia genus article describes as endemic to Sub-Saharan Africa. The GBIF taxonomic backbone accepts the name Praomys coetzeei and credits it to Van der Straeten in 2008, and the Wikipedia article cites a 2008 paper by Van der Straeten titled Notes on the Praomys of Angola with the description of a new species. GBIF records its IUCN Red List category as Data Deficient, which means there is too little information to judge how close it is to extinction.
