Hare
Posted December 22nd, 2007 by Anonymous
Hares and jackrabbits are leporids belonging to the genus Lepus . (Four other species of leporid in the genera Caprolagus and Pronolagus are also called "hares".) Very young hares are called leverets .
They are very fast moving. The European Brown Hare ( Lepus europaeus ) can run at speeds of up to 70 km/h (45 mph). Hares live solitarily or in pairs, whilst "a drove of hares" is the collective noun for a group of hares.
A common type of hare in arctic North America is the Snowshoe Hare, replaced further south by the Black-tailed Jackrabbit, White-tailed Jackrabbit and other species.
Normally a shy animal, the European Brown Hare changes its behaviour in spring, when hares can be seen in broad daylight chasing one another around meadows; this appears to be competition between males to attain dominance (and hence more access to breeding females). During this spring frenzy, hares can be seen "boxing"; one hare striking another with its paws (This is probably the origin of the term "mad as a March hare"). For a long time it had been thought that this was more inter-male competition, but closer observation has revealed that it is usually a female hitting a male, either to show that she is not yet quite ready to mate, or as a test of his determination.

The hare was far superior to the turtle in speed and agility, but was easily distracted. The turtle on the other hand moved very slowly, but was persistent, stayed focused, and continued to set its eyes on the final goal (to win the race).
