|
||
Montane and arid grasslands and “fynbos” (natural shrubland or heathland) typically above elevations of 1000 m but down to sea level in extreme south-western South Africa. The African White-tailed Rat appears to be a mid-successional specialist, usually appearing six months after fire and then disappearing after grassland reached climax. It also seems to favor relatively degraded habitats and is absent from grasslands with high ecological integrity.

|

Reproductive female African White-tailed Rats have been observed in wet and dry seasons but with reduced rates in late wet seasons and early dry seasons. Average litter size in captivity is 1-6 young; number of embryos in the wild is 3—4. Gestation is ¢.37 days. Neonates are c.6-5 g in weight and weaned after ¢.38 days. Young nipple-cling to 19 days of age. Females give birth at c.6 months, and intervals between births is ¢.36 days.
