It is among the largest muroids in the world, growing up to about 0.9 metres (3 ft) long including their tail which makes up half their length. It is widespread in Sub-Saharan Africa, ranging geographically from Senegal to Kenya and from Angola to Mozambique (although it is absent from much of the Democratic Republic of Congo, where Emin's pouched rat is present) and in altitude from sea level to 2,000 metres (6,600 ft).
