Big-headed Mole Rat → Tachyoryctes macrocephalus — As the page makes clear, there are a large number of common names for this species (though the list is probably not complete). At least one of the names is shared with another species (Giant Mole Rat), and MSW3 and the IUCN use very different names. The most commonly used unambiguous name in the literature is the scientific name, so I suggest a move to this name. See WT:MAMMAL#Common names for a recent discussion of the matter. Note: I prefer "Giant Root-rat", but this name is not in common use. —innotata (Talk • Contribs) 20:33, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Article is Incomplete
Article is missing taxonomy section, conservation, and the foraging and prey should be merged to one section and should be named as "behavior". Additionally, there should be habitat information under behavior section. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 13:39, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
