Hare or rabbit?

by HowardJ

Is this a hare or a rabbit? Friends I've shown it to say a hare.

It looks like a rabbit to me Howard, but I'm no expert.

I think it's a young Hare, but not sure, it's a lovely capture.

Looks like a Hare to me, the ears look a bit too big for a Rabbit and it also has a slightly longer face than a rabbit, nice capture.

Thanks for all your kind comments.

I am told by the "Hare Preservation Society" that it's probably a young hare. Apparently the tips of the ears should be blacker, but the eyes are the right colour.

Cheers,

Howard
