Rabbuck

Rabbucks are large herbivorous ungulate-like lagomorphs that are related to rabbits and hares.

Description
Rabbucks of most species have deer-like feet, limbs, and torsos. Some species even have long necks to look out for predators. They have rabbit-like heads and tails as they evolved from the same ancestors as rabbits, hares, and pikas. Unlike rabbits and hares, rabbucks don't reproduce very fast and produce only one offspring at a time, in a similar fashion to their neighbors, the deer, antelopes, and horses. Rabbucks range in size from the size of a muntjak to the size of a very large greater kudu, depending on a species. Rabbuck's cloesest living relatives are Amami rabbits, as they are the cloest thing to the lagomorph's ancestors.

Distribution
Rabbucks of different species are found in every continent except Australia or Antaractica. Unlike European rabbits, none of the rabbucks were introduced to Australia, either intentionally or accidentally, fearing that rabbucks could outcompete native kangaroos.

Behavior
Many species of rabbucks are very social animals and can live alongside deer, gazelles, impalas, blackbucks, and some other similar animals, for protection of each species against predators.

Conservation Status
Most species are listed as least concern due to they tolerate habitat loss and human settlements, but two species, the picktooth is listed as critically endangered due to habitat loss and the mountain rabbuck is listed as near threatened due to climate change. However, there is hope for their survival as a species, as they both are easy to breed in both wild and captivity, so the picktooths and mountain rabbucks are now a very common sight in zoos, safari parks, and even on farms and petting zoos.
