Sumatran Striped Rabbit (most recent records of this poorly known species have been from the park)

Following a sighting in 1972, the Sumatran striped rabbit went unreported until an individual rabbit was photographed in 2000.

It is a member of a genus previously only known from the Sumatran Striped Rabbit (N. netscheri).

The rabbit is striped, with a red rump, and resembles the Sumatran Striped Rabbit.

Nesolagus is a genus of rabbits containing three species of striped rabbit, the Annamite Striped Rabbit, the Sumatran Striped Rabbit, and that of the extinct species "sinensis".

The Sumatran striped rabbit (Nesolagus netscheri), also known as the Sumatra short-eared rabbit or Sumatran rabbit, is a rabbit found only in forest in the Barisan Mountains in western Sumatra, Indonesia and surrounding areas.

The Sumatran Striped Rabbit has been found in the Barisan Mountains in western Sumatra, Indonesia, and the Annamite Striped Rabbit has been found in the Annamite mountains on the border between Vietnam and Laos.

The species present include: Sumatran Tiger, Sumatran Orangutan, Sumatran Rhinoceros, Sumatran Elephant, Sumatran Striped Rabbit, Dhole, Dayak Fruit Bat, Malayan Tapir, Malayan Sun Bear and the Sunda Clouded Leopard.

Descriptions of the species are partly based on images made by camera traps; for the Sumatran Striped Rabbit the cameras were set in the montane forests of Sumatra, while the Annamite Striped rabbit was seen in the Annamite mountain range of Laos and Vietnam.
