"Anagale" is an extinct genus of mammal.

"Anagale" was 30 cm (1 ft) long and resembled a rabbit, but had short ears and a long tail. Also, the build of its hind legs indicates it walked and did not hop. Judging from its shovel-shaped claws, "Anagale" burrowed for food (such as subterranean beetles and worms). "Anagale" fossils have strongly worn teeth from eating soil, further indicating it ate subterranean invertebrates.
