Laonastes aenigmamus, rongeur énigmatique, récemment découvert au Laos

The Laotian rock rat or kha-nyou (Laonastes aenigmamus), a small rodent the size of a rat discovered by chance on a Laotian market, is new to science. This small mammal lives in a very specific rocky habitat, in a seemingly limited territory. Its adaptations to a very specific biotope and lifestyle probably explain its survival and its late discovery.
