Genetically Welsh, spiritually Australian, currently in New York City. I've also lived and worked in London, Canberra, Paris and Lusaka, and visited over 100 countries. There's more here.
The ONE thing I really want to see in Mexico is a volcano rabbit. I have always wanted to see one every since I read Gerald Durrel’s book.
A white sided jackrabbit wold be a very nice bonus..
Volcano Rabbits are very easy to see at Milpa Alta, a rural district near Mexico City, in a community conservation area on the slopes of Volcan el Pelado.
I went there in 2016 and saw a few easily in a morning; Jon went there last May and did the same. The site is easy to access, but you need a contact who can arrange a visit with the community. Juan organized the visits for both of us.
For White-sided Jackrabbits (IMO the prettiest Jackrabbit), the best site is reportedly Ojuelos de Jalisco, near Guadalajara. I’m thinking of going there in August.
