A cute creature, the Black-Naped Hare, also called the Indian Hare, is common across Indian, Sri Lanka and other parts of Southern Asia.

Not to be confused with rabbits, hares are entirely different animals. These hares enjoy feeding on twigs and berries and have larger ears and hind legs. They’re a pretty impressive size really!

This particular black-naped species is unfortunately a victim of poaching in parts of India, but still has healthy populations in the wild.
