Thryonomys swinderianus
Kruger National Park is the atlas place where the Greater Cane Rat is recorded, with records concentrating most heavily in Benin, Nigeria, Cameroon, Kenya, and Ghana. The atlas holds 654 open records of this mammal across ten countries. It is the only member of the Thryonomyidae family represented here, and its records span the full extent of its mapped range.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Greater Cane Rat as much as where it lives. Cells are up to 25 km across, and every location is generalised to its cell.
Generalised encounter areas, not exact locations. Each shape is a grid cell coloured by how likely the species is there.
Conservation status not assessed here yet, so every location is generalised to its grid cell.
