Taxobox name ZagrosMountains Mouse like Hamster status LR lc status system IUCN2.3 regnum Animal ia phylum Chordata classis Mammal ia ordo Rodent ia superfamilia Muroidea familia Calomyscidae genus Calomyscus species C. bailwardi binomial Calomyscus bailwardi binomial authority Oldfield Thomas Thomas , 1905 The ZagrosMountains Mouse like Hamster Calomyscus bailwardi is a relatively little known rodent which was the first species of mouse like hamster to be described. The species is distributed throughout much of southern Iran , particularly in the Zagrosmountains. It is also known as the Iranian Mouse like Hamster , though there are several species of mouse like hamster found in different parts of Iran. This is the largest species of mouse like hamster. They are dark grey on top and white underneath. They are found in habitat ranging from barren rocky hillsides to wetter regions. They are known to feed on herbs and grass seed. Graphodatsky et al. 2000 recovered three distinct karyotype s from different regions throughout the range of C. bailwardi 2n 37, FNa 44 2n 52, FNa 56 2n 50, FNa 50 . This may suggest that further taxonomic revision is required. Vorontsov et al. 1979 emphasized how little is known about the species and that the current definition is based largely on distribution. Many sources still refer to all members of Calomyscus as part of the species Calomyscus bailwardi .
