What is the technical name for the rodent that lived with Gallotia goliath on the island of Tenerife?
Tenerife giant rat The Tenerife giant rat ("Canariomys bravoi") is an extinct species of rodent endemic to the island of Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands, Spain. Many remains have been found during archeological digs. Most remains are from the Pleistocene. Radiocarbon dating has placed some of the finds in the late Pleistocene.
South African springhare The South African springhare ("Pedetes capensis"), or springhaas in Afrikaans, is not actually a hare, but a rodent. It is one of two living species in the genus "Pedetes", and is native to southern Africa. Formerly, the genus was considered monotypic and the East African springhare ("P. surdaster") was included in "P. capensis". Though the species look alike at a casual glance, scientific study can easily determine which is which.
