Black-naped Hare is well distributed in
scrub and grasslands throughout the island. It is nocturnal in habit in most
areas and during day time lies up in a well camouflaged sheltered patch in the
undergrowth. But in the protected areas such as in national parks, it is active
even during the day time, mostly in the morning hours. Black-naped Hare is an
almost entirely herbivorous mammal and feeds on grasses, shoots, young leaves
etc. It doesn't have definite breeding season and produces one or two young
‘leverets’ at any time of the year.
