It appears to be a macropod (same genus as kangaroos).
This might be one of the last of its kind of an un-before discovered population of animals related to the roos or possibly a member of the rodent family like the jeraboa and gerbil.
Either way, the animal deserves a much larger cage for the duration of its captivity and should be studied as quickly as possible then released.
Tagging it may be a good idea so as to follow it and see if there are more of its kind so that we could observe and learn.
