A Hare is a rabbit-like lagomorph of the genus Lepus, and are often confused with the closely-related rabbits. Unlike rabbits, hares are precocial, i.e. born fully-furred and with open eyes while rabbits are not.[1] Hares live above ground, while rabbits tend to live in underground warrens. Hares are less social than rabbits.
