RIVERINE RABBIT
Adult Riverine Rabbit


The Riverine Rabbit (Bunolagus monticularis) currently ranks as one of South Africa's rarest mammals and is on the red list of endagered species.

It occurs in a small part of the Karoo only.

Partnerships between local farmers, conservationalists, environmentalists and reserves have been formed in an effort to save the rabbit from extinction.
