The wild rabbit, also known as the European wild rabbit, belongs to the hare family. It reaches a body size of about 35-50 cm and a weight of 1.5-2.5 kg. The body is brown, and the tail, also called “blume,” has a white underside. Rabbits are very social animals and live in groups, digging their burrows up to two meters deep. The preferred habitat of Oryctolagus cuniculus<\/em> includes semi-open agricultural land with bushes and trees, and they are also found in parks, embankments, or cemeteries. Female animals can give birth to 6-7 litters per year, but on average, it is 3-4 litters with 2-8 young (R\u00fchle, 2017). <\/p>\n

Diet<\/b>: Wild rabbits are strictly herbivores, with a preference for grains and grass seeds. They can cause significant damage to agricultural land due to their feeding habits (R\u00fchle, 2017). <\/p>\n

Threat status<\/b>: The wild rabbit is classified as “endangered” by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, and in Germany, it is listed as “near-threatened” on the Red List Center. It is believed that the population decline is mainly caused by diseases such as myxomatosis (Meining et al. 2020).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div> <\/section>\n \n\n
