It is hard to guess what a Hainan hare weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Hainan hare (Lepus hainanus) on average weights 1.52 kg (3.34 lbs).
The Hainan hare is from the family Leporidae (genus: Lepus). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 45.9 cm (1′ 7″).
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 Hainan hare (Lepus hainanus) is a hare endemic to Hainan Island, China. The species was first described by Robert Swinhoe in 1870.
