The Amami Rabbit (Pentalagus furnessi;
Amami: ʔosagi), or , also known as the Ryukyu Rabbit, is a primitive dark-furred
rabbit which is only found in
Amami Ōshima and
Toku-no-Shima, two small islands between southern
Kyūshū and
Okinawa in
Kagoshima Prefecture (but actually closer to Okinawa) in
Japan. Often called a
living fossil, the Amami Rabbit is a living remnant of ancient rabbits that once lived on the Asian mainland, where they died out, remaining only on the two small islands where they survive today.
