The large Aden gerbil (Gerbillus poecilops) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae, and it belongs to the gerbil genus Gerbillus. It is a species of the Arabian Peninsula: the Wikipedia article records it from Saudi Arabia and Yemen and gives no further detail on its habits, so little more can be said from that page alone. The GBIF record for the species carries a Least Concern assessment from the IUCN Red List, and a species account held there says the classification reflects its ability to live close to human settlement. The article cites the standard reference work Mammal Species of the World for its taxonomy.
