🐇Amami rabbit

Pentalagus furnessi (Stone, 1900)

Pięciozębik leśny (Pentalagus furnessi) – gatunek ssaka, zajęczaka z rodziny zającowatych (Leporidae). Jeden z pierwotniejszych przedstawicieli swej rodziny. Długość głowy i tułowia 42,0–47,0 cm. Długość ogona do 3,5 cm. Masa ciała między 2 i 2,9 kg. Ciało pokrywa grube, wełniste, ciemne futro. Pysk długi i cięższy niż u innych zającowatych. Prowadzi nocny tryb życia, dzień spędza w norze. Rozmnaża się w ciągu roku dwukrotnie, matka wydaje na świat jedno młode. Występuje wyłącznie na dwóch wyspach Amami Ōshima i Tokunoshima, zasiedla lasy. Zjada głównie pędy i młode części roślin, ale także orzechy. Zagraża mu wyginięcie wobec niszczenia siedlisk i wprowadzenia inwazyjnych drapieżników.
