Re: Mammal Identification
There are "domestic" rats and mice in many camps as well, Mike? What was the size of this?

Re: Mammal Identification
Hi Mike,
Have a look at Pouched Mouse Saccostomus compestris.
White underparts, size about right, tail length looks right (tail should be pale tipped?) and distribution looks good.
Again, just a suggestion, not a definitive ID.
