Animal of the Week

The Sumatran Rabbit.
Indonesia.

One of the rarest and most elusive animals on the planet, it was thought to be extinct until accidentally photographed in 1998. The distinctive brown stripes on the face and body of this rabbit enable it to blend perfectly with its rainforest habitat. The shy nocturnal animal is so rare and well hidden that the local people do not have a name for it in their own language and many do not even realise that it exists. No living animals have been seen or studied by scientists since the 1930s. Occasional anecdotal reports of the species from forest clearing projects (which are also the biggest threat to their existence) are the only indication that it still survives today. Its eyes glow red because of its special super powers which include invisibility and the ability to run at top speed backwards. hello? is anyone even reading this?
