They used to be endangered. However, now only several are endangered. I think around 2 or 3. I'm preety sure one of them is because of it's fur. It's hunted because of it's fur. Thesecond (i think) was because they reproduce slowly.

∙ 15y agoThe Riverine Rabbit (Bunolagus monticularis) is one of Southern Africa's most threatened mammals and was re-assessed and upgraded from ENDANGERED to CRITICALLY ENDANGERED in 2002. The species is listed as such in the new edition of the Red Data Book of the Mammals of South Africa (2004). Most other breeds aren't on the World Wildlife Federation's endangered list. But there might be a few other. I don't know.

And not at all endangered as a specie.
