‘Extinct’ hare seen on cam

A RABBIT feared extinct has been spotted for the first time since 1984.

A baby hispid hare was caught on camera in Chitwan National Park in Nepal, 93 miles south-west of capital Kathmandu.

Conservation officer Bed Khadka said: “The fact that the hispid hare was a baby indicates that there are also parents and both male and female.”

The species, also known as the Assam rabbit, is on the list of critically endangered small mammals.
