The Ili Pika, an animal discovered in China's Tianshan Mountains 20 years ago, but then lost again, and now rediscovered.

My first impression was that it looks like a hyrax, often referred to in English translations of the Bible as a "hare", but absolutely not related to actual hares.
Then I looked up the critter on Wikipedia and learned this "Ila Pika" is itself actually related to real hares!
