The Jumping Hare inhabits shabby tracts and even desert-like steppes. It has spread over much of South Africa, occurs in the west at least to the width of Angola and in the east certainly still in German East Africa. In cape land it is very frequent in some places, as in mountain regions as in open plains, sometimes these animals are found in such a large number that they form real colonies. In a similar way to his relatives, he digs subterranean long-aisle dwellings, which are usually heavily branched and located at a short distance from the surface and lead to a larger depth. Usually such a dwelling serves up residence to several couples, yes even to whole families.
