It's called a hare, that is correct. However, it is from the Order Rodentia not Lagomorpha...so it is more closely related to both the capybara and the agouti than to "true" hares or rabbits.

That's it....most the size and shape of the ears...the front legs also are a good field mark.

well I find it interesting that you say "true" hares. some "hares" look pretty similar to bunnies. some, like this one, are really big and scary looking. when I think "hare" i tend to think of the later. like the first photo I posted. that guy is scary!

Hares are scarier looking than their cousins the rabbits....bigger, much larger ears, taller with those big forelimbs. The cavy, while looking like a hare, is actually a rodent.

You are quite welcome...this is up my alley, and I enjoy doing it.

It's not an agouti. It just doesn't look like one. At all.
And it's not a capybara; the legs aren't positioned right, the stance isn't right, the snout isn't right, and I just don't think it's big enough.
I think the Patagonian Cavy is the best guess we've had. Seems to be about right.

yes, the agouti wasn't doing it for me because of the size and the coloring and the shape of the head.
and the capybara is a little too boofy.
those cavy's are sleeker, more refined looking features I guess.
mostly I'm just glad you found it coz it was going to drive me nuts!
