Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Most rabbits hop, but some can swim! The marsh rabbit, found in the swamps of the southeast United States, will often swim to find food or avoid predators. When on land, they walk by placing each foot down alternately like a cat which helps them navigate quickly through dense marsh brush.

This video captures this unique behaviour in great detail:

Yeah we’ve trained the rabbits to sniff out drugs, explosives and other such things.

This one is different.

He can detect liars.

Lagomorph Mondays [4]

This week’s spotlight is on the Pygmy Rabbit!!

Pygmy rabbits are native to the United States. Their territory in the US is the Great Basin and other intermountain areas of West North America.

Of native rabbits in the US they are the only ones who actually dig their own burrows. Juvenile pygmy rabbits use burrows the most, and adults mainly use their for reproductive purposes. Their burrows at a maximum will be 1 meter in depth. They will never venture more than 100 meters from their own burrows.

Pygmy rabbits are often found in areas with plenty of tall sagebrush, rabbitbrush, and other similar types of plants, which they use for cover and food. If there is more sagebrush, they use their burrows less.

They are the smallest leporid , with a body length between 23.5 cm to 29.5 cm. And adults only weighing at max 500 grams.

They are distinguishable by their short ears, small size, grey coat and a lack of any white fur.

One subspecies such as the Columbian Basin pygmy rabbit. They’re a isolated population that is currently endangered, with the last male and female purebreds dying in 2006 and 2008. Currently there is a crossbreeding program in the Oregon zoo, Washington State University, and Northwest Trek to keep the genetic line alive.

Pygmy rabbits are classified as least concern and are featured on the IUCN Red List.
