Abstract

Abstract The Annamite striped rabbit Nesolagus timminsi is an Endangered lagomorph endemic to the Annamite mountain range in Vietnam and Laos. We report new records of the Annamite striped rabbit from the elevations of 967–1210 m (mean = 1097 m) in the Ngoc Linh Mountains in Quang Nam and Kon Tum provinces, central Vietnam, located south of the southernmost known records in the central Annamites part of the species’ range. We also document previously unreported incidents of Annamite striped rabbit being caught for the pet trade. Our findings provide additional information on the distribution and threats to this little-known species that can be used to inform conservation measures.
