Sri Lanka Black-Naped Hare

The Sri Lanka black-naped hare, which is the sole hare or rabbit species to inhabit the island, is found everywhere there is scrub jungle and grassland. It has light brown and grey flecked fur, with a distinctive black patch on the nape of the neck. It is mostly nocturnal and solitary, only to be seen in small groups if the grazing thereabouts is exceptional.
