Pygmy Rabbit

The Columbia Basin Pygmy Rabbit, or Brachylagus idahoensis, is listed as endangered by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. This Pygmy Rabbit is the smallest species of its kind in North America, and it is also one of the only two species of rabbit in the world that digs its own burrow. The Pygmy Rabbit is different from other species because it falls within the monotypic genus ‘Brachylagus’. The phylogenetic identity of this rabbit is as follows: Animalia (Kingdom), Chordata (Phylum), Mammalia

The Columbia Basin Pygmy Rabbit is a small, slate gray leporid that is endemic to North America’s remote sagebrush-steppe habitats. These sagebrush-steppe habitats include regions in southwestern Montana, northeastern California, southern Idaho, central and northern parts of Nevada, central and eastern parts of Oregon, northwest Utah, and lastly, southeastern Washington. The Pygmy Rabbits are truly small because they can grow up to 11 inches and weigh only 16 ounces (1 lb.).During the winter months

flesh, then they were putting it on a fire to grill it. I got scared and ran away, not knowing what else happened behind me." a quote from Amuzati N, a Bambuti Pygmy who escaped a massacre by a rebel group in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This was just one of the many atrocities the African Pygmies has experienced in the past. Pygmies are the indigenous people of Africa. For millions of years they lived in the jungles of Congo, where they maintained their unique relationship with nature. But

walk in their life, and see how they breath, eat, laugh and live. In a like manner, Colin Turnbull is an anthropologist who studied the native Pygmy culture who live in the Belgian Congo. Pygmy, or BaMbuti, as they are also called, resides in the Ituri Forest, in the northeast corner of Belgian Congo. Turnbull writes of his travels and adventures with the Pygmy in The Forest People.

The UK is helping with the restoration and repopulation of the Baka Pygmy populations in the Congo Basin (Nelson). The Baka Pygmy are an indigenous tribe that were driven out of there homeland due to the recent movement in that area. What the UK is doing to combat this is repopulating different species such as the African Civet and the African Buffalo back into that land hoping that these species would bring the Baka Pygmy back into there native hunting

diversity within species Inbreeding depression occurs when species inbreed to a point where the overall fitness of the species decreases. Slate and Pemberton studied how inbreeding resulted in a reduced heterozygosity affected the sperm of wild rabbits, Oryctolagus cuniculus, across the United Kingdom; they considered 112 individuals as well as populations (2006). The study found an important relationship: with a reduced heterozygosity, the production of normal sperm was also reduced (Slate and

farming village named Haten around 1648, a legend spread through the town. It said that if a hunter lucky enough to find and shoot a blue spirit in the form of a rabbit with a bow and arrow in the Devil’s Woods, they could cure any illness that was afflicted with a human. Of course, many people jumped at this myth, and set out to find those rabbits so they could cure the mysterious illness the village leader had, as a great reward was being held. In their travels, many of them never returned or came back

Evidenced by the pygmy hippopotamus’ limited distribution across western Africa, not much is known about the hippo’s ecology and behaviors. The hippo is semi-aquatic, preferring freshwater river and swamp habitats next to dense forests (8). In order to counteract the daytime heat, much of their time is spent in water, otherwise their thin skin would dehydrate. They can usually be found in various burrows or hollows at the edge of a river, areas specifically designed for the purpose of sleeping (1)
