A.K.A. the Lower Keys Marsh Rabbit. And why was it fittingly named after H.H.?

The subspecies was first described in a publication in the Journal of Mammalogy in 1984 by James D. Lazell Jr, after his research was funded in part by a generous contribution from the Playboy Corporation.

Time for me to ATA.

It'll be interesting to see how he does since he has no lifelines remaining.

Here's an article that followed this first episode.

Not sure if you got this, Marley, but the "fittingly" part is a reference to Playboy Bunnies...

Yes, I got the reference. My post addressed the issue of why some biologist might choose to name some new bunnies after him. Aside from the humor value, a generous donation to the research helps.

Who knew that Playboy was so involved in scientific philanthropy?

I thought the Playboy Corporation published the Journal of Mammalogy.
