LIFESPAN RANGES FROM 5 TO 7 YEARS
THEY ARE IDENTIFIED BY A Black Patch on Back of their Neck, AND HAVE WHITE UNDERPARTS.

BLACK FUR PATCH ON NAPE OF THEIR NECK IS A UNIQUE DISTRINGUISHING FEATURE TO THIS SPECIES

THIS NOCTURNAL SPECIEIS IS GENERALLY FOUND IN AREAS WHERE LARGE TRACTS OF BUSH AND JUNGLE ALTERNATE WITH FARMLAND

EARS CAN ROTATE INDEPENDENTLY OF EACH OTHER AND PICK UP SOUNDS FROM DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS SIMULTANEOUSLY

EARS ARE LARGE AND SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO COLLECT EVEN THE FAINTEST SOUND WHICH COMPENSATES FOR THEIR POOR VISION COMPARED TO OWLS.

FEMALES TEND TO BE LARGER THAN MALES

PREFERRED HABITATS: COASTAL HERB COMMUNITIES AND BASE OF HILLS

DURING MATING SEASON, THEY BECOME AGGRESSIVE AND MALES TRY TO MATE WITH AS MANY FEMALES AS POSSIBLE

MALES USUALLY FIGHT WITH THEIR FORE PAWS AND BOX WITH THEIR HINDPAWS

MATING SYSTEM IS POLYGYNOUS; (MEANING THE MALES CAN MATE more than one female at A TIME)

MATING SEASON IS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR BUT PEAK SEASON IS DURING MONSOONS

A LITTER OF 1-4 YOUNG ONES ARE BORN AT A TIME

THEY CAN DESTROY CROPS AND YOUNG TREES IF OTHER FOOD SOURCES ARE SCARCE, A CONCERN FOR FARMERS IN PROTECTING THEIR CROPS

HARES ARE ALSO SUBJECTED TO POACHING FOR THEIR SOFT FUR

THEY ARE TERRESTRIAL IN NATURE; FEEDS ON LEAVES AND PLANT MATERIALS; AND A NON MIGRANT SPECIES
