The latter also enjoys nature conservation protection – draws attention to the Körös-Maros National Park. The shape and size of the squirrel and the rabbit are otherwise very similar. They are distinguished by the differently shaped throat spot, and in contrast to the pinkish, flesh-colored nose of the bunny, the bunny is dark and black.

The rabbit has a body length of approximately 50 cm, plus a 20-25 cm bushy tail. Its body is brownish in color, its legs are darker than its body hair. He likes forests rich in wild trees, in a state close to nature. Along the Maros, in the area belonging to the Körös-Maros National Park, there are many forests that provide favorable conditions for the species.

It is typical of its way of life that it creates its resting place and den in the hollow of an old tree high up, at the level of the canopy. Deftly, competing with squirrels, it jumps from one tree to another, covering long distances without coming down to the ground. Basically a nocturnal predator, it preys mainly on small mammals and baby birds, but it can also catch squirrels. He also eats wild berries such as gooseberries and rose hips.
