Vizcacha
Looks like the outcome of a rabbit having a wild night with a cute squirrel

Vizcachas are rodents in the chinchilla family Chinchillidae.

They live in large colonies above the tree line, separated into individual family units, like an apartment complex. It eats a wide range of plant matter, settling for almost anything it can find growing in the harsh, rocky environment.
