Mount Cameroon brush-furred rat

The Mount Cameroon brush-furred rat, Lophuromys roseveari, also called Rosevear's brush-furred mouse, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in Cameroon. Its natural habitats are listed as subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, subtropical or tropical moist shrubland, subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland and subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland, and it also occurs in plantations and rural gardens. The sources read for this entry state its identity, its alternative name, its restriction to Cameroon and these habitat types, and say little about its appearance, diet or behaviour, so nothing further is claimed here. The group of brush-furred rats to which it belongs is the genus Lophuromys, and the article cites the Mammal Species of the World treatment of the Muroidea by Musser and Carleton.
