If there is any, what is the difference between a rabbit and a hare?

Hares are generally larger and faster than rabbits. Hares have longer ears and larger feet than rabbits. Hares have black markings on their fur. Rabbits are altriciali.e. they having young that are born blind and hairless. In contrast, hares are generally born with hair and are able to see (precocial). Young hares are therefore able to fend for themselves very quickly after birth. Rabbit kittens soon after birth.A young hare is called a leveret and a young rabbit is called a kitten or a bunny. Hares have very long and strong hind legs, more so than rabbits. Rabbits and hares both molt and then grow new hair. This happens in both the spring and in the fall. Rabbits' brown summer fur is replaced with fur that is greyer. Hares, especially those living in cold, snowy regions, turn white in the winter. Hunters say that hare has a much stronger, gamier flavor than rabbit (which actually does taste like a milder version of chicken). Both rabbits and hares have short tails. May 19 10, 10:40 AM

Hares have not been domesticated, while rabbits are often kept as house pets. All rabbits (except the cottontail rabbit) live underground in burrows or warrens, while hares live in simple nests above the ground (as does the cottontail rabbit). Rabbits also have their litters underground. Hares rely on running rather than burrowing for protection. Rabbits are very social animals; they live in colonies. Male rabbits even fight within a group to become the dominant male. The dominant male rabbit then mates with most of the females in the area. In opposite, hares live most of the time by themselves. They come together in pairs for mating only. There is almost no fighting among hares - they just pair off. Rabbits prefer soft stems, grass or vegetables; hares eat more hard food: bark and rind, buds, small twigs and shoots. http://www.diffen.com/difference/Hare_vs_Rabbit May 19 10, 10:42 AM
