The Chinese zokor (Eospalax fontanierii) is a species of rodent in the family Spalacidae.[2] It is endemic to China, ranging from Qinghai Province eastwards to Beijing in steppe and alpine grasslands. Henri Milne-Edwards first described it in 1867. Eradication programs in the 1990s in Qinghai Province resulted in a population decline to less than a third of the former population. It is considered common and has been assessed as Least Concern by IUCN.[1]
An average adult weighs 256 g (9.0 oz) and newborn young weigh 9 g (0.32 oz).[3]
