Lepus tibetanus
The sand hare is a mammal from the hare family. This animal lives on the high-mountain plateaus of Tibet and is well adapted to cold dry conditions.
The sand hare differs from other hares with its thick fur and ability to live at high altitudes in cold climates. It serves as food for predators and helps preserve plants in high-mountain areas.
