Tanzanian shaggy rat

The Tanzanian shaggy rat (Dasymys sua) is a species of shaggy marsh rat endemic to eastern Tanzania, near the Uluguru Mountains. The Wikipedia article that serves as this entry's source describes it as covered in soft, shaggy, reddish to brown fur, with a broad head, a short muzzle, rounded ears that are distinctly furry inside, and a tail shorter than the head and body together. It thrives in marshes and other wetlands and is nocturnal, like other members of its genus. The article gives no body measurements, diet, lifespan, population figure or conservation category, so those details are left blank here rather than guessed.
