Yellow-bellied brush-furred rat

Mammals

The yellow-bellied brush-furred rat, Lophuromys luteogaster, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It has been recorded from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda and Uganda, a spread of three central African countries. It lives in rainforest and swamps. The species is considered to be rare, yet there do not seem to be any extant major threats to the population, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature classifies it as Least Concern. That pairing of a rare animal with no clear major threat is the main point the source makes about its conservation, and the article gives no population figure or body measurements.
