Vernacular names
English: Spring Hares
The Pedetidae are a family of rodents.[4][5][6][7][8][9] The two living species, the springhares, are distributed throughout much of southern Africa and also around Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.[10] Fossils have been found as far north as Turkey.[11] Together with the anomalures and zenkerella, Pedetidae forms the suborder Anomaluromorpha. The fossil genus Parapedetes is also related.[11]
Taxonomy
The family includes one living genus and four extinct genera. The Asian fossil Diatomys was previously included,[11] but is now classified in the family Diatomyidae with the Laotian rock rat.
