Happy New Year with Nuralagus, giant leporid from Pliocene Menorca!🎄🐰The past year has been difficult in many ways, and I hope this year will be better. Many plans for drawings for 2022 have not come true, so I want to fulfill them this year.

Nuralagus

A large leporid known for how distinct it looks to modern rabbits, it only inhabited the island its named after

ALT: Its size was caused by what is known as the "island effect" where its isolation on an island with a lack of natural predators led to its growth in size

Nuralagus rex was a giant rabbit that lived on Minorca until the Pliocene. After Minorca briefly connected with Majorca, Nuralagus is replaced by Myotragus in Pleistocene & Holocene deposits, suggesting the caprine might have outcompeted the leporid.
