Indian hare

The Indian hare is a medium-sized hare with a black and rufous coat, rufous especially on the legs and breast, a white underside and a brown tail. Head and body are 33 to 53cm, the ears 8 to 12cm, and adults weigh 1.8 to 3.6kg. The large, well-furred hind feet measure 8.5 to 11.5cm. The tail and neck patch differ between subspecies (Wikipedia, general species account).

It lives across the Indian subcontinent, preferring open grassy areas, cultivated plains, semi-arid country and hills, and it is crepuscular and nocturnal. Its range includes Nepal, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Bhutan. The short account opened gives nothing on breeding or on its place in Nepal specifically. Nationally Least Concern (Nepal National Red List 2011).
