The national three protected animals refer to the protection of wild wildlife. The three protected species refer to wild wildlife that are beneficial, have important economic value, and have scientific research value.

According to the "Wild Wildlife Protection Law" promulgated by the State Forestry Administration, the three species of animals are: wild animals that are useful, have important economic value, and have scientific research value. Currently, more than 1,700 species of three species of animals have been included in the "List of Terrestrial Wild Animals Protected by the State as Beneficial or with Important Economic or Scientific Research Value." Among them, there are 88 species of mammals, 707 species of birds, 291 species of amphibians, 395 species of creepers, 120 species of all genera and 110 other species of insects.

Three rare protected animals:

1. South China rabbit, also known as short-eared rabbit, commonly known as hare and grass rabbit, is a smaller type of hare. The general body length is 35-43cm, the tail length is 7-9cm, and the ears are slightly shorter than those of Mongolian rabbits, so they are also called short-eared rabbits. The hair on the back of the tail of the South China rabbit is the same as the hair on the back, and the body weight is 1 to 2.5 kg. The morphological characteristics of the Shanghai hare are somewhat different from those of hares living in other areas. The body hair color of Shanghai hare is relatively dark, with a brown patch on the back of the neck; the back of the body is brown and there are irregular black vertical stripes on the back. The color of the hair on the back of the tail and the abdominal hair on the back of the body are light khaki or light brown, and the other parts are different shades of tan. Rabbits in Shanghai mainly live in farmland, feeding on weeds on farmland ridges. They also eat crops, including bean sprouts, wheat seedlings and vegetables. In the Shanghai area, hares hide in forest edges, shrubs, and bamboo forests. They use old graves, mounds and other places to live, and rarely make holes by themselves. The number of wild rabbits in Shanghai is relatively small, causing little damage to crops. However, in spring, when the soybeans cultivated by farmers emerge, because there are relatively few plants in the farmland at that time and the nutrition of the bean sprouts is relatively good, hares eat a large number of bean sprouts, causing certain damage.

2. Hedgehog, the general name for the subfamily Hedgehog subfamily of the insectivore order Hedgehogidae. Also known as Thorn Ball. The back and sides of the body are covered with thorns, and the head, tail and ventral surfaces are covered with hair; the snout is pointed and long, and the tail is short; both the front and rear feet have 5 toes, plantigrade, and a few species have 4 toes on the front feet; there are 36 to 44 teeth, all of which are sharp. The teeth are pointed and suitable for eating insects; when it is startled, the thorns stand out all over the body and are rolled into a thorn ball, and the head and four legs are not visible. Scattered in jungles, grasslands and desolate places in Asia, Europe and Africa. There are 2 genera and 4 species in Zhonggong. Hedgehogs generally live in plain forests. Some hedgehogs will rest on trees, herbs, farmland, bushes, etc., lying around during the day and night, feeding on various small animals and plants, and occasionally damaging fruits and vegetables. Hibernating.

3. The Chinese bamboo rat, also known as bamboo rat and awn rat, belongs to the family Mammalia, order Rodentidae. It is fat, about 25-35 cm long, with a gray back and abdomen, small eyes and ears, short hands, feet and tail. It lives in bamboo forests and awning poles, living in caves and eating bamboo, awning poles and their underground stems. Scattered in Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Fujian, Hubei, Sichuan and other places and northern Myanmar.

The Chinese bamboo rat (Rnizomyssinehsis) is also known as the bamboo rat, awn rat, bamboo rat, bamboo root rat, etc. In animal taxonomy, it belongs to the phylum Vertebrates and the class Mammalia.Order Rodentia, family Bamboozoidae, genus Bamboozoon. Scattered throughout South Asia and East Africa. There are three species in one genus: bamboo rat, Chinese bamboo rat, and spotted white bamboo rat. The Chinese bamboo rat is one of them, mainly distributed in Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Fujian, Hubei, Sichuan and other places as well as Myanmar. It is a special wild animal that has been bred and victorious since the early 1990s.

There are many types of wild protection animals, and they have different characteristics.
