Laotian Rock Rat (Laonastes aenigmamus)

Copyright 2005, R.J. Timmins

Published in The New York Times.

Rationale:

  • it's a drawing made by a scientist of an extinct or nearly-extinct animal.
  • making a photograph would not be possible -- no scientist saw such an animal alive yet, so they must be *very* rare.
  • making a drawing after this drawing would not be exact.
  • this image was used in the scientific papers published by Timmins and taken by the mainstream press, so the author is unlikely to be harmed by its use here.
