Were you aware of it? vol. 4: Springhaas

Wikipedia has this to say about what may be the world's cutest rodent.

The Springhare (Pedetes capensis), or Springhaas, is not actually a hare, but a member of the order Rodentia.

The Springhare resembles a small kangaroo (though unrelated) with well-developed hind legs, which allows it to leap over 2 meters in a single bound. It is for this ability which it gets its name. This animal grows to be around 35–45 cm in length excluding its long tail, and weighs an average of 3 kg. The colour of this mammal varies from a reddish-brown to a pale grey, with a black tip on the tail.

The Springhare lives only in south-eastern Africa, feeding on plant matter and even occasionally insects. They have four toes on their hind feet with claws that look like small hoofs and a thick muscular neck supporting their short head. They also have large eyes, and their ears have a tragus that prevents sand from entering when they are digging.

The females give birth to a single infant about three times a year. Unlike some other rodents, springhares are born furred, and are active within a very short time of birth. An extended period of parental care helps to mitigate a birth-rate that is, among rodents, remarkably low.

Springhares are mostly nocturnal but are occasionally active in the day. During the daytime, they live in tunnels that they dig. Sometimes they leap out of their burrows when they come out at night.
