Tranier's tateril (Taterillus tranieri) is a species of rodent found in Mali and Mauritania. Its natural habitats are dry savanna, subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, and arable land.
Adansonia is a genus made up of eight species of medium to large deciduous trees known as baobabs. Previously classified within the family Bombacaceae, they are now placed in the Malvaceae. They are native to Madagascar, mainland Africa and Australia. Trees have also been introduced to other regions such as Asia. The generic name honours Michel Adanson, the French naturalist and explorer who described Adansonia digitata. The baobab is also known as the "upside down tree", a name that originates from several myths. They are among the most long-lived of vascular plants and have large flowers that are reproductive for a maximum of 15 hours. The flowers open around dusk; opening so quickly that movement can be detected by the naked eye and are faded by the next morning. The fruits are large, oval to round and berry-like and hold kidney-shaped seeds in a dry, pulpy matrix.
Gerbillinae is one of the subfamilies of the rodent family Muridae, it includes the gerbils, jirds and sand rats. Once known as desert rats, the subfamily includes about 110 species of African, Indian, and Asian rodents, including sand rats and jirds, all of which are adapted to arid habitats. Most are primarily active during the day, making them diurnal, and almost all are omnivorous.
Robbins's tateril or the Sahel gerbil, is a species of rodent found across Mauritania and possibly Mali and Niger. Its natural habitats are dry savanna and subtropical or tropical dry shrubland.
Taterillus is a genus of rodents. The species within this genus can only be reliably distinguished on the basis of karyotype, and not by external appearance.
The Congo gerbil or Congo tateril is a species of rodent found in Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sudan, and possibly Uganda. Its natural habitat is dry savanna.
Emin's gerbil or Emin's tateril is a species of rodent found in Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan, and Uganda. Its natural habitats are dry savanna, subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland, and arable land.
The gracile tateril or slender gerbil is a species of rodent found in Burkina Faso, Chad, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Togo, and possibly Cameroon. Its natural habitats are dry savanna, arable land, pastureland, and rural gardens. It is a common species, sometimes considered an agricultural pest, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated its conservation status as being of "least concern".
Harrington's gerbil or Harrington's tateril is a species of rodent found in Central African Republic, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda. Its natural habitats are dry savanna, subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, and subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland. It is sometimes considered to be conspecific with Emin's gerbil, because it has the same karyotype.
The Lake Chad gerbil or Lake Chad tateril is a species of rodent found in Cameroon and Nigeria. Its natural habitats are dry savanna, subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, and arable land.
Petter's gerbil or Petter's tateril is a species of rodent found in Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger. Its natural habitats are dry savanna, subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, arable land, and rural gardens.
The Senegal gerbil or Senegal tateril is a species of rodent found in Niger, Senegal, possibly Gambia, possibly Mali, and possibly Mauritania. Its natural habitats are dry savanna, subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, arable land, pastureland, and rural gardens.
Brown's pademelon is a species of marsupial in the family Macropodidae. It is found in West Papua, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, dry savanna, subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, and subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The Greenwood's shrew is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae. It is endemic to Somalia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, dry savanna, subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, and arable land.
