The South African springhare (Pedetes capensis), or springhaas as it is called in Afrikaans, is not actually a hare, but a Rodent. It is one of two living species in the genus Pedetes, and is native to southern Africa. Formerly, the genus was considered monotypic and the East African springhare (P. surdaster) was included in P. capensis. Though the species look alike at a casual glance, scientific study can easily determine which is which.
