Amami Rabbit (#11)

Pentalagus furnessi

Fun Facts

Physical Appearance 

The Amami rabbit is a bulky rabbit with dark brown fur. They have short legs and long claws, which are used for digging. Their facial features include small eyes, short ears, and a pointed nose.

Habitat

The only place where the Amami rabbit is not extinct is on Amami island and Tokuno island, which are on the southwestern coast of Japan.

Trophic Level

The Amami rabbit is an obvious primary consumer, as its diet consists only of plants. 

Interactions/Competition

The Amami rabbit doesn’t have much competition when it comes to food, as it has a wide range of plants to eat. Something that has been very detrimental to the species has been its predators. Dogs and cats owned by people attack the Amami rabbit. Cats are especially detrimental as they are able to climb. The biggest predator of the Amami rabbit, however, is the mongoose. Mongooses were brought in to kill snakes on the islands, but have been very detrimental to the Amami rabbit populations.

Native Habitat

The islands that the Amami rabbit live on are primarily covered in forestation. The Amami rabbit definitely has a home field advantage because of the underground tunnels they created, which they use to get around the island.

Adaptations

-Claws for digging tunnels

-Thick fur for camouflage and keeping warm

Large teeth

Long neck 

Narrow, oval shaped skull

Skunk sized to literally rhino size

Short Tail

Tertiary consumer, top of its food chain

No predators, top of food chain

Didnt have many competitors that I could find

Its habitat consisted of swamp, marshy environments like the Florida Everglades

It ate mostly meat, depending on its size which particular creature, however they could eat primates if big enough. If they were not they usually ate smaller mammals, and mixed in some vegetation.

Long snout to reach through vegetation and small holes to reach prey

Scientific name is its “common” name
