The Hare is of the same family as the Rabbit, but there are several differences between the two. Hares are generally larger and have longer ears. They do not live in burrows like rabbits, but rather shallow depressions in tall grass. Also, they give birth to fully formed young that are very quickly independent, whereas rabbits give birth to babies that are blind and unable to fend for themselves.

Hares are found nearly worldwide and are plentiful, as they reproduce large litters frequently. They are herbivores and large populations of them can be damaging to crops, so they are often viewed as a nuisance animal. Hares are also a major food source for many larger mammals like lynx, fox, as well as snakes and large birds, so their importance in the food chain cannot be understated.

Throughout history the Hare has appeared in countless stories and fables as well as numerous works of art. It often symbolizes love and prosperity, and in other traditions swiftness and timidity. Ever significant, the hare is for sure a memorable and noteworthy animal.
