THRYONOMYIDAE (Cane Rats)

The Thryonomyidae is a family of hystricomorph rodents represented today by two
species of the genus Thryonomys: gregorianus (East Africa: southern Sudan southward
to Zimbabwe), and swinderianus (throughout the mapped areas above). The latter
is present on the island of Bioko, and the Bijagós Archipelago off Guinea-Bissau.
