Korean hare
The Korean hare (''Lepus coreanus'') is a species of hare found in the Korean Peninsula and adjoining parts of northeastern China. An adult Korean hare weighs 2.1-2.6 kilograms, and has a body length of 45-54 centimetres. The tail is typically 2–5 cm in length, and the ears are 7.6-8.3 cm long. The Korean hare inhabits diverse habitats within its range, from remote mountain forests to cultivated land. Fur colour varies slightly among individuals, but is generally some shade of liver brown.
==Taxonomy==
The Korean hare was first described by Thomas in 1892. Apart from the it, five other species of hare in the genus ''Lepus'' occur in eastern Asia, the Chinese hare (''L. sinensis''), the mountain hare (''L. timidus''), the Manchurian hare (''L. mandschuricus''), the Japanese hare (''L. brachyurus'') and the brown hare (''L. capensis''). In 1974, the Korean hare was considered to be a subspecies of ''L. brachyurus'' and in 1978, a sub-species of ''L. sinensis'', however, study of mtDNA has now shown that the Korean hare is indeed a valid species, ''L coreanus''.
