Abyssinian Hare


The Abyssinian Hare (Lepus habessinicus) is a species of mammal in the Leporidae family. It is almost entirely restricted to the nations of the Horn of Africa, though it extends marginally into eastern Sudan and may also occur in far northern Kenya. It has been suggested it should be considered conspecific with the Cape Hare, but is considered a separate species based on (presumed) sympatry in their distributions.
