Cane Rat - [Grass cutter, Thryonomys swinderianus (greater cane rat)Thryonomys gregorianus (lesser cane rat)]
Cane rats are rodents but not at all closely related to the other rats, belonging to an entirely different suborder, Hystricomorpha, along with Capybaras and Guinea Pigs. They live in most of sub-Saharan Africa and are considered serious agricultural pests, particularly around cane plantations. They grow as large as 22 pounds and despite hunting, their numbers may be increasing due to human farming activity.
Cane rats are eaten in West and Central Africa and are appreciated for their tender, high protein low fat meat. A breeding program has been established and several African governments are encouraging farming them.
