Observable features help us to describe animals. Small distinguishing features help us to 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 back legs bigger than their front. However this description also fits a hare. They look so similar it is easy to confuse them. Hares have slightly longer black-tipped ears. Differences can also be seen in the babies. Newborn hares have fur, open eyes and can run within a few minutes of birth. In contrast rabbit kittens are blind, bald and stay in the nest for the first few days of their lives.
