Issel's Groove-toothed Swamp Rat
Issel's groove-toothed swamp rat (''Pelomys isseli'') is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in Uganda. Its natural habitats are arable land and rural gardens. It is threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species. The organisms that previously inhabited the site are displaced or dead, thereby .... References Sources * Pelomys Mammals described in 1924 Taxonomy articles created by Polbot {{Murinae-stub ...

Pelomys Hopkinsi
Hopkins's groove-toothed swamp rat (''Pelomys hopkinsi'') is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, possibly Burundi, and possibly Tanzania. Its natural habitat is swamps. It is threatened by habitat loss. The rat was described by Robert William Hayman in 1955. It is named after the entomologist, George Henry Evans Hopkins, O.B.E., M.A., F.R.E.S. (1898-1973), who lived and worked in Uganda for many years, and was noted for his researches on three groups of insects: lice, fleas and mosquitoes. Hopkins had collaborated with Hayman and Reginald Ernest Moreau Reginald Ernest Moreau, (29 May 1897 – 30 May 1970), was an English civil servant who worked as an accountant in Africa and later contributed to ornithology.
