European rabbits present an unusual conservation contrast in Alabama’s record: no NatureServe state rank appears on file here, yet the IUCN lists the species globally Endangered in its native Iberian range, where disease and habitat loss have hit wild populations hard. Alabama’s 25 combined records (14 iNaturalist, 11 GBIF) represent an entirely separate, introduced population unrelated to that global decline, concentrated around the Gulf Coast refuges of Bon Secour, Dauphin Island, and Gulf State Park.
Records show two tied peaks in April and August (3 sightings each) with scattered singles the rest of the year, too thin a dataset to draw a confident seasonal pattern from beyond confirming a small, persistent coastal presence.
