Observation of Sumatran striped rabbit (Nesolagus netscheri)in the wild

摘要

The Sumatran striped rabbit (Nesolagus netscheri Schlegel,1880), one of the least-known mammals in the world, occurs only in the montane forests of Sumatra. It is known from a handful of old specimens, a few photos made by automatic cameras, one or two sightings by naturalists in the 1970s,and rare reports by local villagers (Flux 1990, Meijaard and Sugardjito 2008).
