European Hare

The European hare is a mammal that primarily lives in open fields and pastures near agricultural areas and can reach a speed of 72 km/h !

Its elongated ears are rotatable 180° and provide an excellent sharp hearing while the laterally placed eyes provide a field of view of 360°.

Since the sixties and seventies of last century, the once abundant hare underwent a significant decline.
Overhunting, even in its breeding season (!!!), has contributed to this decline.
