Mozambique thicket rat

Mammals

The Mozambique thicket rat, Grammomys cometes, is an African rodent in the mouse family, Muridae. Its source article places it in Mozambique, South Africa and Zimbabwe and gives its natural habitat as subtropical or tropical dry forests, so it is a forest-dwelling species of southeastern Africa. The article cites an IUCN Red List assessment by Taylor from 2004 and the Musser and Carleton 2005 treatment of the superfamily Muroidea in Mammal Species of the World, but it reports no body measurements, diet or population figures, and none are asserted here.
