The Burmese hare, also known as the Siamese hare, is a species of medium-sized hare found in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. It is typically found in forest clearings, croplands, wastelands, and sandy areas along coasts and rivers. Some populations have been found in the mountains of Thailand, though it is more often found at lower elevations below 800 metres. The Burmese hare's closest relative is the Hainan hare, though it is more similar in appearance to the Indian hare.
