Description: The hare is a fast-moving mammal belonging to the family Leporidae, similar to a rabbit but with longer ears and legs. These features allow them to reach speeds of up to 70 km/h, making them experts at evading predators. Hares have a slender, muscular body with fur that varies in color depending on the species and the season, helping them camouflage in their environment. Unlike rabbits, hares do not build nests; instead, they create a simple depression in the ground where they give birth to their young, known as leverets. This mammal is primarily herbivorous, feeding on grasses, leaves, and shoots, and has a digestive system adapted to process large amounts of fiber. Hares are typically solitary animals or form small groups, and they are most active during twilight and nighttime. Their agility and speed are essential for their survival in habitats ranging from grasslands to forests. Additionally, their fleeing behavior and ability to change direction quickly allow them to evade predators such as foxes, birds of prey, and humans. In many cultures, hares have been symbols of fertility and speed, and their image has been used in various traditions and mythologies throughout history.
