The Burmese hare (Lepus peguensis) is a species of mammal in the family Leporidae !

The range of the #Burmese hare extends from southern Myanmar, south of the Chindwin #River, to northern parts of the Malay Peninsula, including Thailand, Cambodia, southern Laos and southern Vietnam.

It is mainly a lowland species but has been recorded as high as 1,300 metres (4,300 ft) in the mountains of Thailand although other surveys have not found it higher than 800 metres (2,600 ft) elsewhere.

Its typical habitats are cropland and dry wasteland, clearings in forests and coastal sandy areas.

It is common in seasonally-inundated riverside flats, and is present in rice fields cultivated in a traditional manner while avoiding heavily irrigated, intensively-grown paddies.#nature
