The San Jose Brush Rabbit (Sylvilagus mansuetus) is a species of mammal in the family Leporidae.[2] It is endemic to the 170 km2 desert San Jose Island in the Gulf of California, part of the Mexican state of Baja California Sur.[1] The species is closely related to S. bachmani, which is found on mainland Baja California,[1] and is considered a subspecies of the latter by some authorities.[1][2]
