["Occurring both in open and forest country. Chiefly, but not exclu- 

 sively, nocturnal. Two young ones born in captivity, in early November, 

 had their eyes open and were just able to move about within 12 hours. 

 This hare is rather savage, and when caught will often attempt to bite, 

 and to scratch with its fore paws, frequently uttering loud squeals. If 

 two are confined together, one will generally fight with and kill the 

 other."— G.C.S.]
