Congo gerbil

Mammals

The Congo gerbil, also called the Congo tateril, Taterillus congicus, is a rodent in the family Muridae, order Rodentia, and belongs to the genus Taterillus. It is found across central Africa, in Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Sudan, and possibly in Uganda, which means its presence there is not settled. Its natural habitat is dry savanna. The species was described by Thomas in 1915. The International Union for Conservation of Nature category recorded for it in the Global Biodiversity Information Facility is Least Concern.
