Occurrence

Occurrence Notes
Extirpated from the Ash Mountain area in 1918 by rodent control activities. A live specimen was observed closely by two park biologists in the East Fork Kaweah in the early 1990s, but documentation disappeared. Specimens could exist in park, but current status is not known. Reports from KICA were probably Lepus townsendii.; Data Source: SEKI Wildlife Observations Database (SEKIWildlifeObs.mdb); Harold Werner, personal knowledge
