The African wading rat or African water rat (Colomys goslingi species of rodent in the family Muridae . It is native to Africa, where it occurs in Angola , Burundi , Cameroon , Republic of the Congo , Democratic Republic of the Congo , Equatorial Guinea , Ethiopia , Gabon , Kenya , Liberia , Rwanda , South Sudan , Uganda , and Zambia .[1]
An aquatic species, this rat is found in and around streams and pools in rainforest habitat, and sometimes in grassland and savanna regions.[1]
In 2020, a team of researchers from Siena College established that it is actually four separate species: the other three species have been named Colomys wologizi , C. lumumbai , and C. eisentrauti .[2] [3] [4]
