Can you name this animal?


It looks like a Photoshopped rabbit, but it's a real animal - and it doesn't roam the outback of Australia. Answer tomorrow.

    It's a lovely Patagonian Mara

    Yes, I live in Australia - but once upon a time in my life - for nine or ten years - I lived opposite the Artis Zoo in Amsterdam and would often take a shortcut through the zoo to get to the bakery in the mornings. The walk would take me past numerous familiar friends, inclusing the Maras. They're sociable little animals. They were in a roomy enclosure next to the Capybaras.

    You can read about this lovely old city zoo here:
