Data Deficient蘇門答臘兔（學名 : Nesolagus netscheri），又稱蘇門答臘紋兔或蘇門答臘短耳兔，是一種只分布在蘇門答臘島西面巴里桑山脈（Barisan Mountains）森林中的一種兔。蘇門答臘兔所棲息的森林被大量砍伐，生境受到嚴重破壞，故被列為易危物種。 蘇門答臘兔一般身長約40公分（1呎4吋），身體呈灰色，帶有棕色條紋，尾及臀部呈紅色，腹部則為白色。居於海拔600至1,400米高的森林中。蘇門答臘兔為夜行性動物，喜居於其他動物的巢穴裡。野生的蘇門答臘兔多以被層植物的莖和葉為食，但馴養的蘇門答臘兔也會吃穀物和熱帶果類。 從1972年起僅有3個蘇門答臘兔目擊記錄。最近一次在2007年1月，由裝置於布吉巴里桑西拉坦國家公園（Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park）裡的自動攝影機所拍攝到蘇門答臘兔的影像。

The Sumatran striped rabbit (Nesolagus netscheri), also known as the Sumatra short-eared rabbit or Sumatran rabbit, is a species of rabbit found in the montane forests of the Barisan Mountains in northwestern Sumatra and surrounding areas. Similar in size to the European rabbit, but with shorter limbs and muzzle and a broader head, the Sumatran striped rabbit is distinguished by the black or dark brown stripes running across its yellowish grey body. Its close relative, the recently discovered Annamite striped rabbit, has similar fur patterns, but is only found on the Laos–Vietnam border.
Like other rabbits, the Sumatran striped rabbit eats plants. It prefers the vegetation of those in the genus Cyrtandra, but will feed on fallen fruit and plants in the Araceae family as well. It avoids cultivated fruits and grains. Studies on the rabbit suggest that it is a solitary, nocturnal animal. Little else is known about its ecology.
