The Patagonian mara (''Dolichotis patagonum''), is a relatively large rodent in the mara genus (''Dolichotis''). It is also known as the Patagonian cavy, Patagonian hare or dillaby. This herbivorous, somewhat rabbit-like animal is found in open and semi-open habitats in Argentina, including large parts of Patagonia. It is monogamous, but often breeds in warrens that are shared by several pairs. ==Description== The Patagonian mara resembles a jackrabbit.〔 It has distinctive long ears and long limbs. Its hind limbs are longer and more muscular than its forelimbs and it has a longer radius than humerus.〔Campos. C. M., Tognelli. M. F., Ojeda. R. A., (2001) Dolichotis patagonu, ''Mammalian Species'', 625:1-5〕 The feet are compressed, making them hoof-like. The forefeet have 4 digits while the hind feet have 3 digits. Its tail is short, depressed and almost hairless.〔 It has a gray dorsal pelage with a white patch on the rump separated from the dorsal fur by a black area.〔Redford, K. H., and J. F. Eisenberg, (1992) ''Mammals of the Neotropics: The Southern Cone'', University of Chicago Press.〕 In addition, the mara has a white underside with a somewhat orange flank and chin.〔 The mara has a head and body length of with a tail of .
