About
The European hare is a large hare native to Europe and Asia, growing roughly as long as a house cat.
This species ranks among the largest of all hares, easily outsizing common wild rabbits. Adult males and females are generally similar in size, with females sometimes being slightly heavier. Their long hind limbs give them great height when sitting upright and allow them to take huge bounding strides across open country.
