Original - The rare and recently discovered Brazilian rice rat Drymoreomys
Alt - another view, partially obscured by a tree.
Reason
This and File:Drymoreomys albimaculatus 001.jpg (here proposed as an alternative) are the only published pictures of a live Drymoreomys, as far as I am aware. Drymoreomys is a rare rice rat from southern Brazil that was only described this year; its Wikipedia article is an FA. While this image may not be technically perfect, its encyclopedic value is huge. And it's a very beautiful mouse.
