Zelotomys hildegardeae: Comments
Comment:
Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc)
Comment:
Comments: Terrestrial, partly diurnal, primarily insectivorous, emitting high-pitched whistles (Ansell, 1960; Delany, 1975), Z. hildegardeae inhabits tall grassland biomes and is infrequently encountered by collectors (Ansell, 1978). G. M. Allen (1939) listed hildegardeae, shortridgei and instans as separate species, as did Ellerman (1941:238), who noted that 'The species are very closely allied, and may later be regarded all as races of the type,' which reflects modern taxonomic treatment
