==Description==
Springhares are comparatively large rodents, with body length (excluding the tail) around 15.7 inches, and a weight of about 6.1 pounds. The tail is as long as the body, and is used as a counter-balance when jumping. They have long hind legs with long feet of about 5.9 inches in length, while the front legs are only very short. The eyes and ears are very large.

Springhares live in dry and open steppes and semi-desert areas without or with only a small tree population. They are nocturnal and stay exclusively on the ground, feeding on grasses and seeds. During the day they stay in self-dug burrows.
