Laotian rock rat : Laonastes aenigmamus
The Laotian rock rat (Laonastes aenigmamus) has been rediscovered, millions of years after it was thought the breed was extinct.
Researchers say the rock rat is the sole survivor of an ancient group of rodents understood to have died out 11 million years ago, and then recorded again in 2005.
The nocturnal rodent lives in remote forests in Laos.
