  • The Majorcan hare (Lepus granatensis solisi) is one of the three subspecies of the Granada hare (Lepus granatensis).
    The Majorcan hare is an animal endemic to the islands of Majorca and Ibiza, in the Balearic Islands (Spain). It seems to have become locally extinct on Ibiza already during the eighties, while the Majorcan population, described only in 1992, is also considered extinct by numerous sources, although there is a lack of certain data attesting to the actual total disappearance of these animals from the island. Therefore, many zoologists continue to classify Majorcan hares as still living, although critically endangered.
