WILD RABBITS Rabbits are ground dwellers that live in environments ranging from desert to tropical forest and wetland. Their natural geographic range encompasses the middle latitudes of the Western Hemisphere. In the Eastern Hemisphere rabbits are found in Europe, portions of Central and Southern Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Sumatra, and Japan. The European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) has been introduced to many locations around the world, and all breeds of domestic rabbit originate from the European. Nearly half of the world's rabbit species are in danger of extinction; many are among the most vulnerable of all mammals.

RCUPINE Panchakot is a natural home for porcupines. Not long ago, Panchakot and Santuri area was abundantly populated by porcupines. During 80s and 90s due to massive deforestation and hunting, the number of porcupine and rabbits had drastically decreased. Thanks to consciousness of local people and social forestation, the forest is growing again and the population of the animals is again increasing. But now porcupines are at the verge of extinct.

The plural form is mongooses, or, rarely, mongeese. It has also been spelled mungoose. In Bengal it is known as beji .
Mongooses live in southern Asia, Africa, and southern Europe, as well as some Caribbean and Hawaiian islands, where they are introduced species.
There are more than thirty species, ranging from 1–4 feet (0.30–1.2 m) in length. Mongoose range in weight from the squirrel-sized Common Dwarf Mongoose, at 280 g (9.9 oz), to the cat-sized White-tailed Mongoose, at 4 kg (8.8 lb).
