volcano rabbit, or Mexican volcano rabbit. Its scientific name is Romerolagus diazi. The volcano rabbit is a small rabbit species and is considered one of the world's rarest and most endangered rabbits. It is primarily found in the high-altitude volcanic regions of central Mexico, particularly in the vicinity of the Mexican volcanoes Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl. These rabbits have adapted to their volcanic habitat, living in dense vegetation and burrowing in the volcanic rock and soil. Due to habitat loss, human activities, and predation, the volcano rabbit population is under significant threat, and conservation efforts are in place to protect and preserve this unique endemic species.
