" Mouse hares are said to be common at Kapup during summer. I found 

 none there in late October. 



At Gangtok it is found among rocks where there is plenty of Alpine 

 vegetation. It is always gregarious. 



At Lachen I found it among rocks and in forests often making its house 

 in the roots of trees. It burrows well. 



At Thangu, though reported very common in summer, I did not see any 

 so high up in winter, so it either hibernates or perhaps migrates to lower 

 altitudes."— C.A.C.
