It is hard to guess what a Burmese hare weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Burmese hare (Lepus peguensis) on average weights 2.27 kg (5.01 lbs).
The Burmese hare is from the family Leporidae (genus: Lepus). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 57.6 cm (1′ 11″).
As a reference: An average human weights in at 62 kg (137 lbs) and reaches an average size of 1.65m (5′ 5″). Humans spend 280 days (40 weeks) in the womb of their mother and reach around 75 years of age.
The Burmese hare (Lepus peguensis) is a species of mammal in the family Leporidae. It is found in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. Three subspecies are recognised; L. p. peguensis, L. p. siamensis and L. p. vassali.
