A man with a greater cane rat (Thryonomys swinderianus)
Reconstructed range of Thryonomys gregorianus (orange) and Thryonomys swinderianus (red), with overlapping ranges in stripe pattern.
The genus Thryonomys, also known as the cane rats or grasscutters, is a genus of rodent found throughout Africa south of the Sahara, the only members of the family Thryonomyidae.[1] They are eaten in some African countries and are a pest species on many crops.[2] The family name comes from the Greek word thryon, meaning a "rush" or "reed" and mys meaning "mouse".
