If Randlers Were Real

From the field notes of R. Andler:

I discovered the most peculiarly remarkable creature on my explorations today. Its anatomy most closely resembled that of a ground squirrel with disproportionately small forepaws and a thin, nearly bare tail but for a tuft of fur on the tip. But what made this creature so remarkable was its antlers and wings. Yes, antlers and wings. Between its round ears sprout a pair of miniature antlers - long, straight, and branched. They appear to be completely normal. The wings are small and covered in downy fur. They appear to be vestigial, like an emu's, though it may be that they are folded and their extent is great enough to support the creature's weight. I must capture one for further examination - I was fortunate enough to observe one closely enough for an adequately detailed sketch, but not enough to trap it before it scampered away.

Clearly this is a new creature, though one so extraordinary that my colleagues may doubt my truthfulness. As its discoverer, I of course lay claim to naming rights, and have decided its scientific name to be Randlerus Mythicus.
