The woolly hare is a mammal from the hare family that lives in the high mountains of Central Asia. It has very thick and curly fur that protects the body from severe cold and wind.
The curly hare differs from other hares with its very dense and curly fur, which allows it to live high in the mountains where it is cold and there is little food. It is important for nature as a herbivore and as prey for mountain predators.
