Nesolagus timminsi (Annamite Striped Rabbit)

Wikipedia Abstract

The Annamite striped rabbit (Nesolagus timminsi) is a species of rabbit native to the Annamite mountain range on the Laos-Vietnam border. The rabbit is striped, with a red rump, and resembles the Sumatran striped rabbit. It only recently became known to Western scientists, being first described in 1999 by Dr Diana Bell of the University of East Anglia. A 2015 British expedition to the region first captured and re-released a live specimen.
