A mammal of the order Lagomorpha and family Leporidae with stiff fur and short legs. It is found from Gorakhpur in the Hindustan plains on the southern foot of the Himalayas to Assam. It is 48 cm long and weighs around 2.5 kg. It is the size of a Japanese hare, but its hind legs are extremely short at less than 10 cm, its eyes are small, its ears are short (about 7 cm), and its claws are powerful, making it more similar to the Amami rabbit. However, unlike all other lagomorphs, the upper hair on its body is thick and bristly (coarse). The undercoat is thin and soft. The lower half of the upper hair is gray-brown and the tip half is black, and there is a yellow-white band near the tip, so the upper surface of the body is a marbled dark brown.
