The reddish tuco-tuco (Ctenomys frater) is a species of rodent in the family Ctenomyidae.[1] Five subspecies have been recognized, some formerly designated as separate species.[2] It is found in Argentina and Bolivia at altitudes from Template:Cvt.[3] This tuco-tuco is fossorial, like others in its genus. Its diet consists of underground tubers and roots. Its karyotype has 2n = 52 and FN = 78.[4]
It lives in colonies in areas with suitably soft, dry soil. Both undisturbed and disturbed areas provide suitable habitat. Its conservation status is assessed as "Least Concern" by the IUCN.[3] Some authors consider it to be a synonym of Ctenomys budini.[5]
