Wilson's spiny mouse

Mammals

Wilson's spiny mouse, Acomys wilsoni, is a rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda, and its natural habitats are dry savanna, subtropical or tropical dry shrubland and rocky areas. Its English Wikipedia article also notes that molecular evidence suggests spiny mice of the genus Acomys are genetically more closely related to gerbils than to the mice they resemble. The article gives no figures for this species' size, diet, lifespan or conservation status, so none are stated here.
