	Riverine Rabbit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Riverine Rabbit (Bunolagus monticularis), also known as the Bushman Rabbit or Bushman Hare, is one of the rarest mammals in the world.
		It has an extremely limited distribution area, found only in the central and southern regions of the Karoo Desert of South Africa's Cape Province.
		It is the only member of the genus Bunolagus.

		Bunolagus monticularis is endemic to the central Karoo region of South Africa.
		Bunolagus monticularis is listed as Endangered in the 1986 South African National Red Data Book, and there is a genetic study of the species underway.

		Of particular importance to the evolution of the le\porids is that the global ice volume was thought to have remained relatively stable and low from 26 to 15 MYA, thus isolating Asia from North America (Zachos et al., 2001).
		The reasons for the isolation of the remaining three genera, Caprolagus (India), Oryctolagus (Europe), and Bunolagus (South Africa) are unclear, but does suggest that up to now Africa was colonized twice, once before 11.3 MYA by the lineage that gave rise to the extant Poelagus and Pronolagus, and then more recently by the derived Bunolagus.
		Both Caprolagus and Bunolagus are now endangered, their distribution is restricted to a few remnant fragments of previously more widely distributed early successional riverine grassland habitats on the northern Indian subcontinent and in the South Africa karoo, respectively.

		The Riverine Rabbit (Bunolagus monticularis) is one of Southern Africa's most threatened mammals and has recently been re-assessed and upgraded from endangered to critically endangered in the Red Data Book of the Mammals of South Africa (2004).
		With an estimation of less than 250 mature individuals being left in the wild today the species is facing an extremely high risk of extinction.
		It is also crucial to identify all habitat fragments that occupy Riverine Rabbits, estimate the sizes of isolated subpopulations and determine key habitat corridors for the species' dispersal.

	WWF - Dealing with fragility - semi-arid areas and man
		The National Parks Trust of South Africa (NPTSA) and the Leslie Hill Succulent Karoo Trust (LHSKT), both administered by WWF-South Africa, have been pivotal in setting in motion a plan to establish a comprehensive protected-area network, and in the last five years, more than 100,000 ha of drylands have been put under protection.
		However, not all species are fortunate enough to be contained within a formally protected area - the extremely rare riverine rabbit (Bunolagus monticularis) being a prime example.
		Consequently, there is a need to make the owners of the land in which such species are distributed aware of the need to protect them.
