The Stillness Of A Hare


While in the Palouse Falls area of Southeast Washington, this past few days, I came upon this Hare. Question is what is the difference between a 'rabbit and a hare' ? It seems the Hare is larger, faster with longer ears and feet. The baby Hare can see and has hair while the rabbit baby is blind and hairless. Therefore the young Hare is able to fend for themselves very quickly after birth. Oh, and the young Hare is called a leveret and a young rabbit is called a kitten. Aren't you glad you asked?
