Calomyscus bailwardi (mouse-like hamster)

Wikipedia Abstract

The Zagros Mountains mouse-like hamster (Calomyscus bailwardi) is a relatively little-known rodent which was the first species of mouse-like hamster to be described. The species is distributed throughout much of southern Iran, particularly in the Zagros mountains. It is also known as the Iranian mouse-like hamster, though there are several species of mouse-like hamster found in different parts of Iran. Many sources still refer to all members of Calomyscus as part of the species Calomyscus bailwardi.
