      Nice picture nof a rarely seen species. A German friend of my kept and bred them in her privat collection but in zoos I've sofar not seen them.

      That is an awesome picture of two of them. They look like they are posing for you.
      I liked the picture so much I had to find out more about them. I wish I could keep some now.
      Thanks for the pics

      Fat sand rat

      One of those animals that 'does what it says on the tin' [fat rat, sandy coloured & presumably lives in sand]. Quite handsome in a fat sandy rat sort of way.

      they look like a cross between a hyrax and a hamster....
