The Yunnan hare (Lepus comus) is a medium-sized species of mammal in the family Leporidae.

[2][4] Cai and Feng (1982) and Wang (1985) elevated it to species status based on morphological and ecological differences from the woolly hare.

It has soft, flat, and long dorsal pelage which is grayish brown or dark gray in color, and whitish ventral pelage—its back of the hip and rump are grayish, and ochraceous buff extending up to the forelegs, latus, and outer side of hindlegs.

The short ears measure 9.7 to 13.5 cm (3.8 to 5.3 in) in length, are pale gray at the inner surface, and black at the top.

A whitish band runs from the base of the ear to the snout, including an arch over the eye.

[4] The species is found across the western Yungui Plateau and southern Hengduan Mountains in the provinces of Yunnan (except southwest of Mekong River[4]), southern Sichuan, and western Guizhou,[1] in Southwest China, and has also been recorded to occur in northern Myanmar.

[3] L. c. peni occurs from central Yunnan, to western Guizhou (Guiyang City, Bijie, Loudian) in the east, to Muli in the north, and to southwestern Sichuan (Huidong) in the south.

[7] According to reports by hunters, the adult Yunnan hare has three burrows; those of the male are shallower, smaller, and straighter than those of the female that are oval and larger in shape.

It occurs in protected areas and also in the Changshanerhai, Daweishan, Gaoligongshan, Jinpingfenshuiling, Nujiang, Shilin, and Tongbiguan Nature Reserves.
