Instead of, "The Yunnan hare (Lepus comus) is a medium-sized species of mammal in the family Leporidae, the same family as rabbits and hares," how about, "The Yunnan hare (Lepus comus) is a medium-sized species of rabbit in the family Leporidae" ?

"The Chinese regional Red Listing has red listed the Yunnan hare as a near threatened species" it's just "listed" not "red listed", and it's called "The Red List of China's Vertebrates", and you could say "as near threatened" instead of "a near threatened species" User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 22:41, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"indicated the Yunnan hare and the woolly hare to be a sister taxa..." a sister taxa of what? User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 22:41, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Both were sister taxa. Removed "a", hope it is clear now? Adityavagarwal (talk) 23:49, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"... and possibly be its northern form" does that mean that some people think it's actually a phenotype of L. nigricollis? User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 22:41, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It is uncertain, but the possibility is there. Changed word to probable. Adityavagarwal (talk) 23:49, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
