class="content__text" Happy Lunar New Year! 🌙 🧧🐇 It is the year of the rabbit and 2023 is expected to usher in a softer period of calmness and self-reflection. Today, we are celebrating one of our favorite ‘underfrog’ species — the Annamite Striped Rabbit. This species remained undetected by scientists until 1995 They are classified as Endangered by the #iucnredlist due to the high level of wire snares in the Annamite Mountains of Vietnam and Laos. Rangers in protected areas work to remove these snares, often collecting dozens, or even hundreds, in a single day. Re:wild is working with local partners to protect the Annamite Striped Rabbit and other threatened species from poaching. Fun facts about the Annamite Striped Rabbit: They have really short ears (which aren’t typical for rabbits)and are exclusively nocturnal. . . . . . . . #RewildAnnamites #rabbit #yearoftherabbit #lunarnewyear #happylunarnewyear #lunarnewyear2023 #newyear #newyearnewme #2023 #selffreflection #rabbitsofinstagram #calm #serenity #underfrog #rewild Art by @eric.losh 📸: Andrew Tilker #teamrewild
