It looks like a pre-historic mouse.

I added a link. Here’s some more info:

Considering that it was named after Mao Zhedong—one of the most powerful and ruthless dictators of the 20th century—Maotherium was a surprisingly small and inoffensive creature, a mouse-sized Mesozoic mammal that spent most of its life quivering high up in the branches of trees. (This unflattering allusion may have been intentional; Maotherium was named in 2003, well after China had begun to loosen its repressive social policies.)
