The European hare (Lepus europaeus, Pallas 1778) is a mammal belonging to the Leporidae family and native to Europe and Asia. The hare lives in open fields, mainly agricultural areas, and has found favourable conditions in the cultivated countryside, which has gradually replaced the bushy prairies. This makes it impossible to distinguish the indigenous from the non-indigenous species. It is a medium-sized mammal weighing between 2.5 and 6.5 kg, with a rather slender shape, hind limbs longer than the front ones, an elongated body and a rather small and well distinct head with long mobile ears. The muzzle is characterized by two large round eyes. A soft greyish-fawn camouflage fur covers the entire body. It has crepuscular and nocturnal habits and exclusively feeds on plants. The hare is a solitary species and intraspecific interactions are all linked to reproduction in some way. Baby hares are born well developed, covered with fur, with teeth and sight and can move on their own within a short time of their birth. During their first days of life, they do not develop the instinct to flee and in case of danger, they remain motionless, crouched in the tall grass.
