Can you spot the differences between a rabbit and a hare?
Observable features help to describe animals. Small distinguishing features help us tell the difference between a rabbit and a hare. Rabbits have long ears, big eyes, thick fur and short bob tails. They are good runners and jumpers, and have hind legs longer than their front. However, this description also fits a hare. They are so similar it is easy to confuse them. Hares have slightly longer black-tipped ears. Differences can also be seen in their young. Newborn hares have fur, open eyes and can run within a few minutes of birth. Rabbits are born blind, bald and stay in the nest for the first few days of their lives.
