There are 5 species recorded from Tanzania: Dendromus insignis, Dendromus melanotis, Dendromus mesomelas, Dendromus mystacalis and Dendromus nyikae. These small rodents are excellent climbers and are noted for the black stripe (sometimes faint...rub the back from front to rear to see the stripe more easily), long tail and three fingers on the front foot. Look for an opposable toe on the back foot.
