摘要：

Until recently, only bone remains of Don hares, which went extinct in the Holocene, were known. For the first time, the mummy of an adult hare, identified as a Don hare, has made it possible to expand our understanding of this species and its morphological adaptations to living conditions in the Arctic steppes of the Pleistocene of Yakutia: large body length, short ears and feet, powerful locomotor apparatus of the hind limbs, hard hair brushes on the feet, and excellent heat-shielding properties of the fur, including the specific microstructure of the hairs.
