Hare

A hare is a medium-sized mammal in the family Leporidae, which also includes rabbits. Hares are known for their long ears, powerful hind legs, and their ability to run at high speeds. 🐰

Hares have a slender body with a small tail, a long face, and very long ears. Their hind legs are much longer and more powerful than their front legs, which allows them to run at speeds of up to 45 miles per hour. Hares do not have the typical fluffy coat of a rabbit; their fur is a reddish-brown or grayish color.

Hares are found in a variety of open habitats, including grasslands, savannas, and woodlands. They are herbivores, and their diet consists of grasses, leaves, and bark. Unlike rabbits, hares do not live in burrows but instead rest in small depressions called "forms."

Hares are solitary animals, but they may gather in groups to feed. Unlike rabbits, which are born hairless and blind, baby hares, called leverets, are born fully furred with their eyes open and are able to run within a few minutes of birth.
