@Dassie rat did either of them guess correctly?

 

[Dassie rat]

It is neither Australia nor Madagascar, both of which have endemic reptile genera

Is it Ethiopia then? So little too go off of

Now it's your turn

This country is historically home to 13 Feliformia, with one of these feline’s subspecies modern range being only in this country and another being the country’s National animal despite it being regionally extinct. A deer species modern range is also found only in this country, mainly in the southern pistachio forests. Many animals that live in this country are named not after the modern country but an empire that existed before it. Good luck!
