Yunnan hare

The Yunnan hare, Lepus comus, is a medium-sized hare of southwestern China. It has soft, flat, long dorsal fur that is grayish brown or dark gray and whitish underparts. It was long considered endemic to China, mainly Yunnan, but its presence was recorded in northern Myanmar in 2000. It is a herbivore that forages on shrubs and forbs, and although it is described as a diurnal species it is also active at night to forage. It may also occur in open forests or forest edges. The IUCN rates it as least concern, while the Red List of China's Vertebrates lists it as near threatened, and agricultural activity in mountainous regions may threaten it by isolating its mountain populations.
