The Korean hare has brown or grey-brown fur on its back and paler fur underneath. It uses vegetated areas from plains to mountains and is reported to feed in open places in the late afternoon or evening.
The fur on its back is brown or grey-brown, while the underside is paler and may be white. It has long ears and well-furred feet.
Researchers compiled field records of large and medium-sized mammals collected in mainland China from 2009 to 2020. The cleaned dataset contained 12,397 records from 5,461 sites.
The inventory includes Korean Hare in species lists, while the compiled field records for that period contain no confirmed observation of the species in mainland China.
The paper also discusses unresolved taxonomy and a possible distribution boundary with Manchurian Hare. The inventory highlights questions about how the two hares are identified and mapped.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
The mainland-China dataset had no confirmed Korean Hare record for 2009–2020; the paper notes unresolved taxonomy and range boundaries with Manchurian Hare.
