What is a river rabbit?

River, Bunolagus Moticularis, is a kind of rabbit that is originally from the Karoo area in South Africa, at the southern tip of the continent. Males weigh about 3.3 pounds (1.5 kg) and women are slightly larger and weigh about 4 pounds (1.8 kg). River rabbits are brown, with a fluffy brown tail, a cream belly and neck of fur and a noticeable black stripe that runs from the corner of the mouth through the face to the back of the head. These critically threatened rabbits are night, come out at night to eat a diverse food consisting of native flowers and grass, then hiding under the bushes during the day, avoiding as much heat and predators as possible.

One of the main reasons why the ruling of the river is at risk is the loss of habitat. Much of its natural area was transformed from native plants into cultivated soil, which makes the rabbit find suitable food and shelter. The habitat was also lost due to the celestial gravity of the sheep. In addition, these rabbits can fall prey to release dogs and traps for a steel leg that every year seriously woundand kill many rabbits. It seeks to save the rabbit of the river through organizations such as the Conservation Conservation Project Riverine.

The

Riverine River Project consists of many groups, including an endangered working group for Wildlife Trust rabbits, South African national parks, various nature conservation members to protect western and northern captains and several universities in South Africa. All of these, like many others, work to maintain a rabbit and its basic habitat. A group of river rabbits is also kept in captivity with the final goal is to re -introduce into indigenous areas where they no longer exist naturally.

save the endangered river rabbbit is difficult, but not impossible, task. Farmers are associated with neighbors to create conservative organizations, areas that cooperate on the protection of wild animals, and a large part of the destruction of stations, and KDThe original plants will need many years to fill in the destruction areas. Once the soil begins to treat and the prisoners are released into nature, there is a hope that the critically endangered rabbits population can be brought back from the edge of the disaster, and these rabbits can re -roam around Karoo.
