Ivory Coast rat

Mammals

The Ivory Coast rat, Dephomys eburneae, is a rodent in the family Muridae. Its Wikipedia article says it is found in Ivory Coast, possibly in Ghana, and in Liberia, all of them in West Africa. Its natural habitats are given as subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical swampland. The article is brief and rests on two references, the Muroidea chapter by Musser and Carleton in Mammal Species of the World and a 2006 IUCN Red List entry by Taylor from 2004, so details of its appearance, behaviour and numbers are left out rather than guessed.
