The Indian hare (Lepus nigricollis), also known as the black-naped hare, is a common species of hare native to the Indian subcontinent,[1] and Java. Its habitat in Java is in rocky highlands.

Description

The weight of an adult Indian hare can reach 6 kg. Its body length can reach 40 cm. Its hair color is yellowish brown. Indian hares can live 5 to 10 years, and can become pregnant 7 times a year, with an average number of 6 to 12 cubs. Indian hares are relatively more immune to various diseases because they have adapted to a tropical climate, and they reproduce very quickly compared to imported rabbits. Indian hares are relatively small in size and don't have very thick fur.
