Happy Easter from the Volcano Rabbit

Since today is Easter we shall do a special posting on the Volcano Rabbit, the Easter Bunny's cousin.

The Volcano Rabbit lives in the mountains of Mexico. It lives on the slopes of old volcanoes and is the second smallest rabbit. They are critically endangered mostly because their habitat is disappearing and they are hunted as pests. There are different breeding programs for them like Jersey Zoo in the UK and the Chalpultepec Zoo in Mexico City. They feed on green leaves in Zacaton grasses. (Zacaton is connected sinkholes in Mexico.)

Are you amazed at all the animals in the world? Are you surprised by how many are endangered?

What is Mossy's World of Animals?

Welcome people of the world! Bienvenue! ¡Recepción! Boa vinda! مرحبا! 歓迎 Willkommen! My name is Moss and I'm a sixth grader in South Carolina. This is my blog dedicated to educating people about animals...extinct animals, endangered animals, threatened animals, vulnerable animals, and animals right in your own backyard.

It's important so that people can be more careful, because it's up to us to take care of nature and habitats and all living creatures.

A few years ago I was amazed to learn about all the extinct animals I'd never get to see, and shocked to realize all the endangered animals people of the future may never get to see.

I want people to learn about animals, and do something to help. I'll try to provide interesting information, ideas on how you can help the environment, and other cool stuff about my favorite animals.
