Hainan Hare

The Hainan hare is a small hare endemic to China's Hainan Island. Its body measures less than 40cm and weighs up to 1.5kg. It has a small rounded head, ears longer than its hind feet, and a tail that is black above and white below. Its varied coat combines brownish-black, white and yellow-brown areas, with dark-brown limbs. (Wikipedia, general species account)

This hare is solitary and is active principally at night or around dusk. Rather than occupying a burrow, it shelters among bushes. The account associates it with flat, cool, bushy places and the dry grasslands of western Hainan, while noting that it generally avoids mountains and agricultural land. Its reported distribution is concentrated in the island's central-western coastal zone. (Wikipedia, general species account)
