"Hares and jackrabbits are leporids belonging to the genus Lepus"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hare

There is a trend of female hares (Jills) being larger than male hares (Jacks).

Lepus nigricollis - Regardless of location, female L. nigricollis tend to be larger than males.

Lepus califomicus - In Kansas, sexual dimorphism exists in mass and length of adults; females are larger than males. As the breeding season begins, difference in mass between sexes increases until a maximum is reached in mid-summer. Toward the end of the breeding season in late summer, males begin to gain mass and females to lose mass. After the breeding season, mass is nearly the same for both sexes.

Ah, but they're described as hares in the game Senn, not rabbits. Even the dictionary term for leporine means Hare rather than a rabbit.
leporine
/ˈlɛpərʌɪn/
adjective
of or resembling a hare or hares.
I suppose it will also depend on which 'hare' they're going after, as it doesn't seem to be overly common as there are multiple breeds of hares that do not have this. Or those writing the articles find that the differences between them are not something that is worth mentioning, while with rabbits it's a lot more clear. A 0.3 KG difference is more akin to 'weight' rather than height. Males burn off more than the females, female mammals also retain fat more - this is seen throughout the biology of all mammals, though males tend to be bigger in both muscle mass and just genuine 'unit size'.

As seen here Brown Hare Information Which talks about dimorphism, but it's less than 5% and is regarding their weight, not overall size.

To clarify, jackrabbits are hares, even if it includes the word "rabbit" in the name.

"Jackrabbits are actually hares, not rabbits."

Lepus timidus go by many other alternative names such as mountain hare, arctic hare, snow hare, jackrabbit, and so on.

Aye, I figured as much - but I feel the need to drive home they're not rabbits but Hares, haha. I am curious on which hare the Viera are based off of. Or did they just take the simple idea of the 'Hare' and leave it at that. Either way the tiny weight difference between them should be nothing to get excited about.
