The Manchurian Hare (Lepus mandschuricus) is a species of hare found in northeastern China, the Amur River basin, and in the higher mountains of northern Korea. The adult Manchurian Hare weighs about 2 kilograms, and has a body length of 40-48 centimeters, in addition to a tail of 4.5-7.5 centimeters. The ears are typically 7.5-10.4 centimeters in length. Compared to the Korean Hare, its hind legs are relatively short and its ears relatively small.
