Harrington's gerbil

Mammals

Harrington's gerbil or Harrington's tateril (Taterillus harringtoni) is a species of rodent found in the Central African Republic, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda. Its natural habitats are dry savanna, subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, and subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland. It is sometimes considered to be conspecific with Emin's gerbil, because it has the same karyotype, so some treatments do not keep the two apart. The species was described by Oldfield Thomas in 1906 and belongs to the genus Taterillus. The sources read for this entry give no IUCN Red List category for the species, and they do not describe its diet, activity pattern or lifespan.
