Prolagus oeningensis is an extinct lagomorph and the type species of its genus, Prolagus. It lived from 15.97 to 7.75 Ma, existing for about 8 million years.

Range[edit]

The species has been found in various locations in Europe and Asia. It was named after the town of Öhningen in Germany, its type locality in the Upper Freshwater Molasse.^[4]

Diet[edit]

This species was possibly a herbivore like other living lagomorphs.
