2023 is the Year of the Rabbit on the Chinese lunar calendar, but what do you know about the animal? What native rabbit species does China have? Our special guest, Li Weidong, a pika expert, is here to answer. Watch this episode to find out.

About the 'Hopping into Tunian' series:
Can rabbits drink water? Should you pull a rabbit's ears? What are the world's largest and smallest rabbit species? 2023 is the Year of the Rabbit, or Tunian, on the Chinese lunar calendar. For Spring Festival, we at CGTN Nature are presenting a new series, "Hopping into Tunian", to share fun stories about our buck-toothed buddies.
