The Mount Kahuzi climbing mouse (Dendromus kahuziensis) is a rodent found only in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
It is listed as a critically endangered species due to illegal logging; it is also threatened by fire.
Its habitat is tropical forests, and to navigate these forests it may use its semi-prehensile tail to hold on to tree branches.
Its markings are brownish on the top and white to yellow on its underside, with strongly dark rings around its eyes.
