Head-body 288-413 mm, tail 345-449 mm, ear 32-42 mm, hindfoot 68-78 mm; weight 1.2-8 kg (males) and 0.9-1.4 kg (females). The Southern Giant Pouched Ratis the largest muroid rat within its distribution and has well-developed cheek pouches. Fur is long and harsh to the touch, brown or grayish brown dorsally, shading to white or cream ventrally. Snout is long and pointed, with dark rings around eyes. Ears are relatively long. Tailis slightly longer than head-body length, with terminal one-half conspicuously white compared with dark proximal one-half. Limbs are relatively short, with four digits on forefeet and five digits on hindfeet.

Wide range of savanna, woodlands, and forests. The Southern Giant Pouched Rat is often commensal with humans,living at high densities in some urban and periurban environments. It excavates burrows, primarily with its teeth, typically at bases of large trees or boulders.

|
||
The Southern Giant Pouched Rat mostly eats fruits, seeds, and tubers that might be cached in a burrow. Gut morphology is complex, and passage rates are slow, adaptations to exploit nutrient-poor foods. Coprophagy appears to pass on gut microbes from mother to offspring to assist with digestion.

The Southern Giant Pouched Rat is nocturnal, with two peaks in activity and a lull between 22:00 h and 01:00 h. Most of the night is spent in a burrow, and only one-quarter of the night spent outside. It is terrestrial but might also climb.

The Southern Giant Pouched Rat is typically solitary, with one individual occupying a burrow system. Average home range was 4-9 ha, with males wandering over larger areas than females. Densities might be high in prime habitat; 42 individuals were captured on a 0-5ha garden in Harare, Zimbabwe.

|
||
Not assessed on The IUCN Red List. The Southern Giant Pouched Rat causes damage to crops and orchards and is often persecuted. It is hunted for food over much ofits distribution. Despite these pressures, it does not appear to have suffered from a range contraction or reduced population. Due to its acute sense of smell and high level of intelligence,it has been trained to detect land mines.
