They say it also offers hope for other "extinct" small mammals, which may be findable if only researchers take the time and effort to track them down.
RATS underground. Maybe the 'researchers' declared the critters extinct and took a much needed paid vacation for a few decades. Or, it could all be global warming...

I vote that it be rendered extinct.

These critters apparently managed to return from the verge of extinction without government intervention. Are they allowed to do this?

Awww, this thing is so cute! Reminds me of a gerbil, which is a very similar desert animal.

The world is full of kangaroo rats. This particular subspecies was already marginalized and lived on a tiny patch of land when discovered.

Global Warming is bringing extinct species back to life! It’s settled science.
To: Libloather
Extinct? Rare?
Have these scientists not yet studied a Democrat convention?

But...but...but, I thought the San Quintin kangaroo rat science was settled.
Maybe they need more grant money...

The biologists couldn’t find the rats but apparently the rats found each other.

Ah, the humility of scientists!
If we didn’t see it, it didn’t happen!
Kinda like the old, “There are no mountain lions in Western North Carolina...
Yea, right...

They weren’t even remotely extinct, Elvis just had them all rounded them all up for his petting zoo. This one must have hopped over the hop-proof fence.
