It is hard to guess what a Woolly hare weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Woolly hare (Lepus oiostolus) on average weights 2.47 kg (5.45 lbs).
The Woolly hare is from the family Leporidae (genus: Lepus). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 46.5 cm (1′ 7″). On average, Woolly hares can have babies 2 times per year with a litter size of 3.
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 woolly hare (Lepus oiostolus) is a species of mammal in the family Leporidae. It is found in western and central China, Northern India and Nepal where its typical habitat is montane grassland. It has a wide range and is present in some protected areas but is a generally uncommon species; the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being of “least concern”.
