Hare. Name applied generally 

 to a large family of rodents, which 

 includes the hares proper and the 

 rabbits. There are about nine 

 well-marked local races or varieties, 

 mostly grey or brown. They are all 

 remarkable for their long hind legs 

 and ears, and their short curved 

 tails, and are capable of great speed. 

 The common hare is distinguished 

 from the rabbit by its larger size, 

 longer limbs and ears, and the red- 

 dish-brown hue of its fur. It also 

 differs greatly in its habits, especi- 

 ally in not living in burrows. 



The hare lives usually in the 

 open, crouching in a furrow or in a 

 hollow in the grass, and only takes 

 shelter in the undergrowth of 

 thickets in wet weather. It sits 

 so very closely that often it will 

 not stir until almost trodden upon. 

 The hare feeds mainly on corn, 

 vegetables, and bark of young trees.
