Hares are fast-running mammals that belong to the family Leporidae, which also includes rabbits. They are known for their long ears, powerful hind legs, and large eyes. Unlike rabbits, hares typically live above ground and create nests in shallow depressions called forms. They are primarily herbivores, feeding on grasses, leaves, and other vegetation. Hares are found in various habitats around the world, including fields, forests, and grasslands. One of the most well-known species is the European Hare, which is recognized for its speed and agility. Hares are also known for their unique breeding habits, often producing multiple litters each year.
