Hausa mouse

Mammals

The Hausa mouse (Mus haussa) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. Wikipedia lists it from nine countries of West Africa: Benin, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria and Senegal. Its natural habitats are given as dry savanna, arable land, rural gardens and urban areas, so its recorded habitats include places shaped by people as well as open savanna. The GBIF record carries a Least Concern assessment from the IUCN Red List, and a species account held there repeats that classification. The Wikipedia article cites Musser and Carleton in Mammal Species of the World for its taxonomy.
