Hinde's rock rat

Mammals

Hinde's rock rat (Aethomys hindei) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae with a wide range across central and eastern Africa. The Wikipedia article that serves as this entry's source lists Burundi, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, moist savanna, and subtropical or tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland. Oldfield Thomas named it in honour of Sidney Langford Hinde, a British officer and recreational naturalist. The article gives no body measurements, diet, lifespan, population figure or conservation category, so those details are left blank here rather than guessed.
