Facts About the Pygmy Rabbit
INTRODUCTION
The Pygmy Rabbit is the smallest rabbit in the world. It has many predators due to its size. So, unfortunately, it has become endangered over the years. The only confirmed wild population currently can be found in the area of Washington State. Zoos in the regions surrounding Washington state have been working to correct this with new breeding programs.
Although, all purebred Pygmy Rabbits are thought to be gone now, species from other areas, such as the Idaho Pygmy Rabbit, are now being used in the program to help them survive. These rabbits are important because of their role in the local ecosystem. Other animals depend on them for their own survival. Many plants also depend on their waste as well.
