There are eight different genera in the family classified as rabbits, including the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), cottontail rabbits (genus Sylvilagus; 13 species), and the Amami rabbit (Pentalagus furnessi, an endangered species on Amami Åshima, Japan).
What is that terrible musty/mold smell coming from my air vents? There have been numerous complaints of a bad musty/mold smell coming from the air conditioning vents. This usually occurs after the A/C has been running or after the truck has been sitting.
Molds and mildew cause that familiar old smell because they release a gas that gets into fabric, carpet, curtains and furniture. Once the smell has permeated the area it can be difficult (but not impossible!) to remove.
