奄美黑兔 / 琉球兔 (資料來自於百度百科)
琉球兔（學名Pentalagus furnessi），又名奄美短耳兔，是一種只分佈奄美大島及德之島的原始兔。它們是亞洲大陸古代兔的遺族，故被稱為活化石。琉球兔的腳很短，身體粗壯，爪大及彎曲，是夜間活動的。它們的耳朵比其他的兔或野兔明顯的短小。它們棲息在森林，每胎只會生一隻幼兔。母兔會在地上挖穴供幼兔在日間躲藏。於晚上，母兔會打開穴的入口餵養幼兔，期後就會以植物或塵埃遮蓋穴。它們日間會在隱蔽的地方睡覺。它們也會發出叫聲，叫聲有點像鼠兔。

琉球兔因獵殺死而瀕危，日本遂於1921年立法保護它們。不過它們仍受到伐林、被狗及貓等殺死、並人類干擾等威脅。島上居民用來殺死毒蛇的獴科也大量殺死琉球兔。伐林對它們有很大的傷害，尤其是它們是日間睡覺的，很多時會連同伐林一同被殺死。


Amami rabbit (information from wikipedia)
The Amami rabbit (Pentalagus furnessi; Amami: [ʔosaɡi]), or Amamino kuro usagi (アマミノクロウサギ 奄美野黒兔?, lit. "Amami wild black rabbit"), 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.

Reeves's muntjac is also called the barking deer, known for its distinctive bark, though this name is also used for the other species of muntjacs. The male has short antlers, usually four inches or less, and uses them to push enemies off balance so he can wound them with his upper two inch canine teeth.

海洋堂比較早期的作品(已絕版，網路上可找到少數商家販售)，相當小巧玲瓏又精緻的一組雪猴母子，美中不足之處: 拿來和其他家的猿猴類做場景搭配還是太小了一點，殘念。

日本獼猴 (資料來自於維基百科)
日本獼猴（學名Macaca fuscata），也叫雪猴，是生活在日本北部的一種獼猴。它們是世界上生活地區最北的非人類靈長目動物。日本獼猴的毛色為灰褐色，臉部、四肢和下腹部為紅色，尾巴很短。日本獼猴可以在-15°C（5°F）的嚴酷環境中生存，這在靈長目動物中是非常少見的。為了能在這樣低溫的嚴酷環境中生存，日本獼猴進化出了集體泡溫泉的習性，但只有最高等級的雌性和幼崽才能入內。探索頻道的《地球變種》紀錄片攝製組拍攝到部分日本獼猴為了拾取溫泉底部的食物，會憋氣潛水1分鐘左右的新習性。

Japanese macaque (information from Wiki)
The Japanese macaque, is a terrestrial Old World monkey species native to Japan. They are also sometimes known as the snow monkey because they live in areas where snow covers the ground for months each year - no other non-human primate is more northern-living,

The macaque has other unusual behaviours, including bathing together in hot springs and rolling snowballs for fun. Also, in recent studies the Japanese macaque has been found to develop different accents, like humans. Macaques in areas separated by only a few hundred miles can have very different pitches in their calls, their form of communication.
