Some hare facts...

• Hares aren’t rabbits – they’re twice as big and don’t look so chubby and rounded. They are much taller and leaner and have much longer legs.
• They’ve got big ears with black tips.
• They don’t live in burrows but dig themselves shallow scrapes called "forms."
• They prefer to come out at night and people used to think they were witches in disguise.  The best time to spot them is near dawn or dusk.
• The males are called jacks; the females are called does and the babies are called leverets. They are born fully furred with their eyes open and ready to run...
• Grown hares are pretty quick – they can run at up to 45 mph and they are able to swim.
• You’ll have a great time if you go looking for them and sometimes you might almost stumble on one before it will break cover!
