There's a real good picture, close up, nose front, floating around facebook/ pinterest. Looks almost huggable. Seems the Saiga antelope were mostly wiped out, believe it or not, from (you guessed it, haha) a nose virus.

I think Mole Rats are fascinating. They are classified as animals yet are cold blooded, but they have a hive social structure like insects. Not the cutest things in the world, but definitely unique.

My favourite is the extremely rare and endangered Jackalope. Once common in Montana, Alberta and Saskatchewan was last seen near Swift Current Sakatchewan in 2015.

Stores in Douglas sell jackalope milk, but The New York Times questions its authenticity on grounds that milking a jackalope is known to be fraught with risk.[13] One of the ways to catch a jackalope is to entice it with whiskey, the jackalope's beverage of choice.[20]

Little known information about this exceedingly rare creature.

The jackalope can imitate the human voice, according to legend. During the days of the Old West, when cowboys gathered by the campfires singing at night, jackalopes could be heard mimicking their voices[5] or singing along, usually as a tenor.
