Thomas's rock rat

Mammals

Thomas's rock rat (Aethomys thomasi) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae that the Wikipedia article serving as this entry's source describes as found only in Angola, which makes it a country endemic. The article states that its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry shrubland. The entry is very short: it gives no body measurements, diet, lifespan, behaviour, population figure or conservation category, and it does not say who the species is named for. Those details are therefore left blank here rather than guessed, and the species is described only as far as that one article supports.
