South China rabbit, that is, the most common kind of hare in South China. There are actually many species of rabbits, but the most common can be divided into two genera, one is rabbit and the other is burrowing rabbit. The South China rabbit is an animal of the rabbit family and rabbit genus, which is a native chinese rabbit. And our common domestic rabbits actually belong to the genus Ofe Rabbits, so those great white rabbits are not actually our native rabbits, but belong to exotic species.
South China rabbit compared to the rabbit, the ears are larger, the legs are longer, this rabbit will not drill into the hole when encountering danger, because it generally does not dig a hole, but relies on the big long legs to start running hard, sometimes even directly hit the obstacle and crashed into the dead, we often listen to the rabbit is this rabbit. The three caves of the cunning rabbit are about the rabbits of the genus Cave Rabbit, who like to make holes.
Because they don't make many holes, in order to improve the survival rate of rabbit cubs, newborn South China rabbits have hairs on the surface of their bodies and can see things. Usually after thirty or forty days, the rabbit can leave his parents and live independently. After all, the South China rabbit belongs to the solitary rabbit, and generally makes a right time during the breeding period.
This rabbit is widely distributed, and they are found in Anhui, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hunan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Taiwan and other places. South China rabbits generally like to hide in the bushes and weeds, dig a shallow pit to nest, the protective color on the body can make them perfectly integrate into the surrounding environment, the average person does not look carefully and really can't see clearly.

In the past, people often went up to the mountain to hunt hares, and even now many people will put some iron clips for catching rabbits on the mountains to catch some hares to taste the fresh. Aunt Walnut's cat was caught because she ran to the mountain to play, broke a front foot, although it was rescued in the end, but it became a cat with 3 feet, and now it runs when it sees strangers.
It is precisely because people hunt at will, so the number of rabbits in South China has not been able to go up, so the state has included it in the "List of Terrestrial Wild Animals with Important Ecological, Scientific and Social Values Protected by the State", which has become a national protected animal, so it is illegal to kill wild South China rabbits now.
In 2019, Zeng Mou of Le'an County found a rabbit while digging spring shoots, so he took two iron clips the next day and placed them in the place where the rabbits might pass. On the morning of the third day, a hare was caught, so Zeng took the hare home and slaughtered it and put it in the freezer, which was later seized by the relevant departments. The court imposed a fine of RMB5,000 on Zeng.
So it is best not to go up the mountain to fight wild meat at will, the wild game we can eat before is now mostly protected animals, not to protect animals is also forbidden to eat animals, if you are not careful, you will break the law. For example, grass rabbit, Northeast rabbit, Yunnan rabbit, Chinese bamboo rat, civet cat, Chinese toad, sparrow, hedgehog, king snake, Chinese water snake, Chinese honeybee, etc., a total of 5 classes, 46 orders, 177 families, 1591 species, and all species of insects in 120 genera and 110 other species are nationally protected animals.
