PHOTO! Now enjoy a picture of the Laotian Rock Rat! The Laotian Rock Rat is a surprise discovery by the World Wildlife Fund, because he was last seen 11 million years ago! Laotian Rock Rat is probably the most exciting Greater Mekong discovery revealed today.

The Laotian Rock Rat was believed extinct. How researchers could get data about the rat from 11 million years ago is not quite clear. But obviously, the rat is back in town!

Remember how LALATE told you the researchers found that viper in a restaurant? Well, guess where they found this rat? In a food market!

Yes, the absence of a Health Department brings out the best of the world’s extinct species!

The WWF findings reportedly state that the species could become extinct because of development in the area.
