Rabbits and Hares Hares are larger with much longer rear legs than rabbits. They do not dig burrows but rely on their speed to evade
predators. Hares have longer ears which are more clearly marked with black tips.
Rabbits can become abundant in certain years but the population can crash due to the disease myxomatosis. Hares
do not contract the disease.
