A genus of small burrowing rodents found in North Africa, related to the gerbils and jerboas.
From the scientific Latin naming convention for taxonomic classification. The genus name Chefrinia was established by zoologists to classify these desert-dwelling rodents discovered in North African regions.
Chefrinia are among those animals that spend their whole lives in burrows in the desert, rarely coming above ground—their entire world exists underground where temperatures are more stable.
