Volcano Rabbit
Nested deep in grass while using it for food and shelter from enemies, the second smallest rabbit in the world has a very dubious moniker – known to most as the ‘volcano rabbit.’ They don’t explode or spew lava, but these little furry rare creatures actually live on top of an active volcano, further risking their livlihoods. They’ve been considered troublemakers for crops in Mexico and are hunted because of this. Grasslands have taken over the volcano rabbit’s habitat making it harder to hunt for food and nest comfortably. In the past 15-20 years, their populations have dwindled to under a thousand and the volcano rabbit’s conservation status is officially clocking in at threatened/endangered.
