I was going through my list of obscure animals and there are so many I love that you've done which is great!! And I found one you haven't done yet: a viscacha, lagidium viscacia! AKA a mountain chinchilla (but viscacha sounds cooler imo). Also I love that tiger quoll/spotted quoll profile picture!

Some viscacha images I love:

In the west of Lirrin lies the Valley of the Viscachas, part of the larger Chinchillith range. Valley Viscachas are closely related but a distinct species from their more widespread cousins, the Hills Vischachas. Valley Viscachas are found only within the valley that bears their name.

Valley Viscachas do not hibernate and are active year-round, as the microclimate of the valley shelters them from the harshest of the Chichillith winter weather. The best time for visitors to observe Valley Viscachas is shortly after dawn, when the Viscachas can be found sunbathing and grooming.

If you really want to look at a rabbit-like animal with pawpads, I’ve got exactly what you need:

These men have hands!
