Occidental gerbil

The occidental gerbil, Gerbillus occiduus, is a gerbil distributed mainly in southwestern Morocco. Its Wikipedia article says that fewer than 250 individuals of the species are thought to persist in the wild, which marks it as a species with an extremely small remaining population confined to a limited part of the country. The scientific name places it in the genus Gerbillus, the true gerbils. The article is a two-sentence stub and gives no information about the animal's size, habitat, diet, breeding, behaviour or conservation category, so this description does not assert anything beyond its range and its very small estimated numbers.
