I don’t know if these qualify as obscure but I feel a deep spiritual bond with African elephant shrews aka sengis. They’re the fastest mammals for their body weight, with some being clocked at running 30 km/h. For comparison the average rat or mouse can run around 12km/h. Elephant shrews are so amazing and I lay awake at night thinking about how much I love them. They’re my people.
And of course I also love viscachas. Fun fact they’re not rabbits, but are more like chinchillas. They resemble rabbits because of covegent evolution which is super cool.

They look the inverse animal of each other.
Lightning fast elephant shrew vs viscacha who needs a lil nap
Basically the two modes of my ADHD
Apparently my fursona is the viscachas cause I look like that give or take 70% of the time
