The Riverine Rabbit: - 250 Individuals Survive!

The Riverine Rabbit (Bunolagus monticularis) is South Africa´s most Endangered Mammal and the only place in the world it is found is near rivers in the central Karoo

Unusually for rabbits, its reproduction is very slow with females giving birth to only one or two kittens each year. They rarely live for more than three years, so only around four young are born during each rabbit’s lifetime!
