Now, Washington is not a huge state, but I doubt if anybody has totally surveyed forty thousand plus square miles of eastern Washington. Maybe they're PYGMYS for a reason!!!

I don't know if they are the same speicies(probably are pretty close) but the pygmy cotton tail here in Northern CA is going strong, cute little devils too, but mostly they are found at higher elevations.

Is there such a thing as rabbit Viagra?
I thought the whole point was that rabbits didn't NEED viagra.
Sounds like these pygmy rabbits got pygmy libidos. Maybe that's why they're extinct.

The best way to bring a species back from the edge of extinction is to make a market for them...look at the Buffalo....

Maybe they should get some "stem" cells
from "Hoppy" before it's too late.
