Volcano Rabbit is a small rabbit that resides in the volcano. It is the world's second-smallest rabbit, second only to the pygmy rabbit.

Appearance
It has short, dense fur that ranges in color from brown to black The rabbit is a gnawing animal that is distinguished from rodents by its two pairs specialized of upper incisors that are designed for gnawing. Their body size and hindlimb development demonstrates how they need extra grass-cover for evasion from predators. Their speediness and their hind limb development relative to their body size correlate to their necessity for evasion action.

Ecology
The volcano rabbit is found in subalpine habitats containing bunchgrass and pine and they feed on young leaves of grasses and some spiny herbs. They have a peak breeding season in warm rainy months, with a gestation time of 40 days.

Distribution
Volcano rabbit was found in unknown region in their volcano, is found in discontinuous patches on four volcanoes spanning 386km². It occurs at altitudes between 2800m and 4250m, although it is most abundant between 3150m and 3400m.
Population Trend: increasing
Population: 2,478 - 12,120
Habitat System: terrestrial
Habitat: all including volcano
Native: unknown 😂
