Maras, subfamily Dolichotinae, are a group of rodents in the family Caviidae. [1] These large relatives of guinea pigs are common in the Patagonian steppes of Argentina, but also live in Paraguay and elsewhere in South America. There are two extant species, the Patagonian mara of the genus Dolichotis and the Chacoan mara of the genus Pediolagus.

Patagonian maras are long-legged rodents with bodies similar to hoofed animals. They have long ears and short tails. Their coats — which are stiff, dense and very fine in texture — are primarily gray-brown, with a white patch along the chest and stomach and orange coloration around the flanks and head.

It is also known as the Patagonian cavy or Patagonian hare. This herbivorous, somewhat rabbit -like animal is found in open and semiopen habitats in Argentina, including large parts of Patagonia. It is monogamous, but often breeds in warrens shared by several pairs. The Patagonian mara resembles a jackrabbit. [4] .
