đMeet Africam's Rodents
Bushveld Gerbil While they might be small, these critters play a big role in the African bush! The Bushveld Gerbil is a slender little mammal with sandy-brown or golden fur and a lighter belly. It lives in open savannah and bushveld areas, often where the soil is loose enough for digging burrows.
Woodland Dormouse The Woodland Dormouse is tiny and round-bodied, with soft gray-brown fur, a pale belly, and a bushy tail. It prefers wooded areas, riverine forests, and dense shrubs, often hiding in the branches near Africam cameras.
Greater Came Rat The Greater Cane Rat is much larger and more robust, with coarse brown or gray fur, a short tail, and stocky legs. It thrives in grasslands, wetlands, and riverbanks, especially near waterholes or pans, and is usually seen grazing at dusk or night. |
