TheHunter: Call of the Wild Wiki

"The European rabbit is native to southwestern Europe and to northwest Africa. Known as an invasive species, it has been introduced to countries on almost all continents, often with devastating effects on local biodiversity. European rabbits are social and territorial animals, who prefer to live in large and complex burrow systems (warrens). A typical colony consists of 10 to 15 adults. Its ideal habitat consists of short grasslands with secure refuge near feeding areas. Well-known for their reproductivity capacity, they are capable of reproducing year-round. Gestation is about 30 days, and the average litter contains 5 young. Females may have several litters per year."

Tips[]

European Rabbits are the only animal in game that lack need zones; so you have to find their burrows if you want to hunt them. Even when you find a burrow, these burrows won't be marked on your map. You either have to commit these locations to memory, or make a physical map with their locations marked. An easier way to find them, especially on multiplayer, is to use a German Shorthaired Pointer to point them out. But if you don't have the DLC, run around open fields during their active periods until you hear a warning "Thump"; their burrows will be located close to open fields. They have a very small spook radius; so don't worry about scaring them, of course still be cautious when you approach. Te Awaroa National Park will be the most open map for hunting these animals. But if you're hunting on Hirschfelden Hunting Reserve, you can find ALL European Rabbits on the RIGHT SIDE of the map, and none on the left side.

Need Zone Times[]

Currently, the European Rabbit has no Need Zones. Only it's burrows can be found on the map. At resting time, it is hidden inside the burrow and not reachable while it will roam around it's burrow on feeding time.

Trivia[]

  • European Rabbits breeding culture is weirdly hierarchical. The older, stronger, Bucks are typically polygamous, while weaker males are almost exclusively Monogamous. When a Doe gives birth, their offspring are called Kittens.[1]
  • The European Rabbit is the direct ancestor of all domestic bunny breeds.[2]
  • Despite their propensity to have children, and their universal status as an invasive species, they are considered endangered in their native range.[3]
  • It was remodeled with the Update on December 03 2024.
