Mammals

The savanna gerbil, Gerbilliscus validus, is a rodent in the family Muridae, order Rodentia, and belongs to the genus Gerbilliscus. It has a wide range across Africa, with records from Angola, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mali, Rwanda, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Its natural habitats are dry savanna, moist savanna and arable land, so it uses both drier and wetter grassland as well as farmed ground. The species was described by Bocage in 1890. The International Union for Conservation of Nature category recorded for it in the Global Biodiversity Information Facility is Least Concern.
