731 Red Rock Hare Family: Leporidae Genus Species: Serial Numbers: [illegible] This large hare is found in the higher mountain regions of South Africa. I have seen them in Namaqualand and Southwest. They are difficult to hunt in the daytime as they dart in and out between the rocks so rapidly that they never leave themselves open for a shot. They feed on succulent plants and grass. I found one of this hares under a rock one day and was able to kill it with fine shot. The skin is so delicate that skinning is very difficult. The hair comes out very easily. I have seen great quantities of their dung on top of some of the higher mountains of South Africa. They are much warier and more active than the Common Cape Hare.
