Amami Rabbit (Pentalagus furnessi)
Also known as the Ryukyu rabbit, the Amami rabbit is a species of rabbit only found on the Islands of Amami Ōshima and Tokunoshima in Japan. The Amami rabbit is a remnant of old extinct rabbits that used to live on mainland Asia. They are nocturnal forest-dwellers and feed mostly on grasses and acorns which they can dig out with their curved claws. Unlike other rabbits they have been known to make calling noises instead of thumping like pikas do. Currently the Amami rabbit is listed as endangered as hunting, predator introduction and habitat destruction have thinned their population.

My pets :D They both walked into my backyard and ate all the vegetables in our garden. My grandpa thought they were cute so we decided to just keep them.

Det dröjde inte länge förrän alla sex hade kurat ihop sig tillsammans i en liten hög på det värmande höet och snart… mycket snart… sov de alla… tätt ihop.

My brothers and I destroyed our lovely new toy! And we don’t even look remorseful! Perhaps Mudchute’s first Bunny Shaming!
