Book Description




Brown Hare


Book Description

The brown hare started in the grasslands of central Asia and were brought into Britain during Roman occasions. Brown hares are a lot bigger than rabbits and have brownish hide and long, dark tipped ears. They live only over the ground, resting in shallow excavations, called structures, up to 10cm profound. Speed is their primary resistance and they can run at up to 72 km for every hour to get away from predators. As they run, they fold their tail down with the goal that the white underside isn't noticeable - in contrast to rabbits, which hold their tail up, blazing its white markings.
