The Lami tuco-tuco (Ctenomys lami) is a species of rodent in the family Ctenomyidae.[2] It is endemic to an area in the state of Rio Grande do Sul in southern Brazil , where it is found in the vicinity of sand dunes.[1] The species is threatened by urbanization and the conversion of its habitat to agricultural use.[1] Swamp drainage has led to a zone of hybridization with a neighboring population of C. minutus.[1]
