Lead
The Article body contains the edits I would make to the South African springhare article. The edits are:

- Added citation to Pedetes cafer synonym

- Modified and added to first sentence of the first paragraph of the Characteristics section with citation

- Wrote a sentence with citation to add after the fourth sentence of the first paragraph of the Behavior section

- Added the corresponding reference to the above citations

Characteristics
The springhare resembles a small kangaroo, with well-developed hind legs. While its movements are considered slow when it moves on all fours, when it starts jumping using its powerful hind legs, it can leap over two to three yards in a single bound and almost six to ten yards when being chased by predators.

Behavior
Spring Hares, also commonly known as Jumping Hares, typically live in colonies and retreat into their burrows during the rainy season where they will remain closely flocked together with the other members of their colony.
