Hewitt's red rock hare

Hewitt's red rock hare, Pronolagus saundersiae, is a rabbit of the family Leporidae found in South Africa, Eswatini and Lesotho. It is a medium-sized, densely furred, rufous and brown rabbit that behaves like the other red rock hares and prefers higher rocky habitats, occupying rocky escarpments, hillsides and kopjes, in particular the tops of rocky outcrops and higher elevations in general, including elevated grassland and shrubland. It is nocturnal and is presumed to feed on grasses, herbs and shrubs. The IUCN considers it least concern and says it is abundant throughout its range even though no specific conservation measures protect it, although habitat loss caused by humans is expected to reduce the global population.
