Difference between rabbit and hare



What I've done today.

I have done some research on whats a rabbit and whats a hare.

Hare

Myth:
A rabbit and a hare are the same thing.
--Lynelle

The Truth: Hares differ from rabbits in that they don't dig burrows and their young are born more mature. Rabbit young, or kits, have a gestation of approximately 28-31 days. They are born naked and blind and require a period of time to grow in a safe nest before they can run. The hare, on the other hand, is born after a gestation of approximately 42 days. The young, called leverings, are born fully furred, eyes open, and they are ready to run immediately after birth. You can't necessarily tell a hare from a rabbit just by its common name. The jackrabbit is actually a hare and the Belgian Hare is actually a rabbit. Talk about confusion!

So now I had a very clear understanding with hare and rabbit.

No wonder hares are huge, in compare with rabbits.

I personaly thinks that Jackrabbits is just a similar replica of a Kangaroos.

This is a JACKRABBIT, not a Kangaroo.



This is a KANGAROO, not a Jackrabbit.
