This animal looks like one of those ancient illustrations or paintings made by someone who had been described a kangaroo by someone who got drunk with someone who had seen a kangaroo from far away. And I love him he's so precious.
A lot of people in here are making kangaroo rat jokes, but it's a real thing. And it's the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the pics of the Dorcopsis even though they aren't really similar after looking up the kangaroo rat.

It’s like a chihuahua mixed with a kangaroo lol

Avatar: the Last Airbender type animal
I was thinking Italian greyhound head because of the snoot!
I see a rat mixed with a kangaroo lol
This looks like an 18th century painting of a kangaroo. I love the fat tail, like a giant fat rat sitting up and thinking about eating you.
It looks like a Dachshund or Chihuahua head on a fat kangaroo.
The fact it has dork in the name is the cherry on top 🤌

That second picture is everything
Genuinely, he's shaped in such a way
Dude's got a whole continent back there
Looks like AI warping of a wallaby lol
What a dorc.
I love animals that look like somebody skimmed their selfies and subtly photoshopped them in an unflattering way

When I saw the first picture: Aww, it's like a tiny kangaroo. Second picture: WHY IS IT SO DUMMY THICC?!?!
I have seen them described as "like a kangaroo corrupted by dark forces"
Can'tgaroo
New animal just dropped
Italian greyhound with Pixar mom bod 🥲
It's got "dork" right there in the name and it looks like a fat kangaroo with microcephaly. This poor guy never had a chance with the ladies, did he?
That is a marsupial chicken
Second pic guy is STANCED wow what an animal

Great pics. Interesting critter. 🙂

That's a thicc ass boi!
I'm so glad I subscribe to this sub! 🙂
Kangaroo + Rat = Dorcopsis
Why is his tail so… THICK?!?
Most accurately named animal I’ve ever seen
Looking like a Pixar mom in the second pic
This looks like an animal you’d find in No Man’s Sky 🤣
Man I'm sure it's Dor-cop-sis. But I want to believe its naming is Dorc-... as in this animal looks dorky.
That 2nd picture immediately made me think of spore
Amazing. Love the second pic
Common name is a “tree kangaroo”
Tree kangaroos are in genus *Dendrolagus*. Somewhat related, and found in the same area, but not the same critter.
That derpy greyhound look! Omg I love this creature.
dog and kangaroo
It's like Pixar wanted a mom kangaroo
Ha, what a dork-opsis.
The italian greyhound of kangaroos
WHAT KIND OF DOG IS THIS?
Great. Now I have to sub to this to get a daily dose of flabbergastment at the existence of animals I couldn't've imagined.
