Hewitt's red rock hare is a small mammal from the hare family. It lives among rocks in South Africa and has reddish-brown fur that camouflages it well on red rocks.
Hewitt's red rock hare differs from other hares by living only among rocks and its special reddish coloration that hides it from predators. It is important for nature as food for eagles, wild cats, and snakes, and also helps spread plant seeds.
