The Tres Marias cottontail or Tres Marias rabbit (Sylvilagus graysoni) is a species of mammal in the family Leporidae.[1]
Distribution and habitat
It is endemic to the Tres Marias Islands, part of the Mexican state of Nayarit.[2] The rabbit is abundantly found in both the Madre and Magdalena islands but only has some occurrences in the Cleofa island.[3] Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests.
Conservation
It is threatened by habitat loss.
Ecology
The rabbit only has three predators - the Tres Marias raccoon (Procyon lotor insularis), a subspecies of the common raccoon, and two birds of prey: the red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) and the crested caracara (Caracara plancus).[3]
