Gundi
Family of rodents
Summary
Gundis or comb rats are a group of small, stocky, African rodents in the family Ctenodactylidae. They live in rocky deserts across Northern Africa. The family comprises four living genera and five species, as well as numerous extinct genera and species. They are in the superfamily Ctenodactyloidea. Local people in northern Africa have always known about gundis, however they first came to the notice of Western naturalists in Tripoli in 1774, and were given the name gundi mice. While they are not regarded as pests, some people hunt gundis for food.

Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1347399749|1347399749]] by [[Special:Contributions/~2026-21184-86|~2026-21184-86]] ([[User talk:~2026-21184-86|talk]]) The edit seems harmless in intent but it's an error to remove Grundis, a rodent, from the category of "Rodents by common name", Reason the category is there is due to taxonomy, to indicate its position in the family tree. *IP user.*
[[Category:Gundis]] is already a subcategory of [[Category:Rodents by common name]]
