A '''Hare''' is a lagomorph of the genus Lepus. They are often confused with [[rabbits]], who are their close cousins. However, unlike rabbits, hares are [[precocial]] (born almost completely mature); this means, among other things, that hares are born with fur while rabbits are not.<ref>[http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-difference-between-rabbits-and-hares.htmWhat is the Difference Between Rabbits and Hares?]</ref> Hares live above ground, while rabbits tend to live in underground warrens. Hares are less social than rabbits.
