nesolagus

The rarity of Nesolagus may be the result of deforestation and habitat loss.

Genus Nesolagus includes three species:

Thus the ears of Nesolagus are only about half as long as in most rabbits, e.g. in the genus Lepus.

The Annamite Striped Rabbit Nesolagus timminsi was discovered in the mountain forests in Vietnam and Laos.

This rabbit was the sole representative of the genus Nesolagus until the Annamite striped rabbit was discovered in the Annamite Mountains between Laos and Vietnam.

The fossils (parts of the left mandible with several teeth) of the extinct Nesolagus sinensis were found in Chongzou Ecological Park in the Guangnxi Zhuang region of southwest China.
