Rabbits and Hares

[deckardcanine]

It’s common to mix up the hare and the rabbit.
If you ever wish to get out of that habit,
Let’s start with the knowledge that hares become bigger,
Not least in the ears and the legs (what a figure).
The hares have black marks on the edge of their ears,
And their bodies turn white near the end of the year.
They take a bit longer to finish gestation,
But newly born hares present more maturation:
They move, they have fur, and they’ve opened their eyes.
Hares don’t live in burrows but sleep under skies,
Which means when there’s danger, they normally run
And don’t hide, with more speed than the average bun.
The rabbits eat veggies and grasses (soft stuff).
The hares prefer twigs and some bark, as they’re tough.
While rabbits are social, hares go it alone.
The former’s much better to keep in your home.
