Are There Rabbits in Africa?

Rabbits have a widespread presence in many parts of the world, but their presence in the African continent is a contested subject.

What is the Evidence?

There are three main types of rabbit – the European rabbit, the wild rabbit, and the riverine rabbit.

  • The European rabbit is native to England, France, and Iberia.
  • The wild rabbit lives in a variety of climates and habitats, including deserts, plains, and grasslands.
  • The riverine rabbit is native to South Africa and is rarely seen outside of the Karoo region.

The wild rabbit may be present in certain parts of North Africa, but sightings are rare and there is not enough firm evidence to draw a conclusion. It is most likely that the wild rabbit is only found in a few isolated pockets of North Africa.

The European and riverine rabbits are not known to inhabit Africa.

Conclusion

Therefore, it is safe to say that the only type of rabbit found in Africa is the wild rabbit, and even then these sightings are few and far between.

The presence of rabbits in Africa is a contested subject and further research is required to determine if rabbits are found in the continent.
