	Hares - info and games
		Hares and jackrabbits are leporids belonging to the genus Lepus.
		Young hares are adapted to the lack of physical protection offered by a burrow by being born fully furred and with eyes open.
		By contrast, the related rabbits and cottontail rabbits are altricial, having young that are born blind and hairless.

		The European Hare or Brown Hare (Lepus europaeus) is a species of hare native to northern, central, and western Europe and western Asia.
		Normally shy animals, hares change their behaviour in spring, when they can be seen in broad daylight chasing one another around meadows; this appears to be competition between males to attain dominance (and hence more access to breeding females).
		In pre-Christian Britain the hare was associated with the spring goddess Eostre, and a connection lives on in the Easter Bunny celebrations.

	Hare
		A common type of hare in North America is the Snowshoe Hare.
		For a long time it had been thought that this was more inter-male competition, but closer observation has revealed that it is usually a female hitting a male; either to show that she is not yet quite ready to mate, or as a test of his determination.
		The hare in African folk tales is a trickster: some of the stories about the hare were retold among African slaves in America, and are the basis of the Brer Rabbit stories.

	Summary of report: Farming European Brown Hare
		Examples of small hare breeding ventures in the high country in the north of Italy, in France and in some Eastern European countries have shown that captive hare breeding is technically possible, although only when specific conditions are met and cage design and husbandry is properly managed.
		Hare behaviour in captivity is significantly different from the wild and it would appear that these enforced changes in an animal which has never been domesticated, contribute to the reproductive problems.
		Advice from one agency suggested that it would be unlikely that a tourist facility would be permitted to be associated with hare breeding areas due to the injuries that may occur to the animals through the flight reaction to the presence of humans.

	Hunting the European Hare :: Rabbit Hunting Article :: Rabbit Hunting Online Magazine
		Not everyone has the opportunity to hunt the challenging European hare, as their distribution is limited to most areas of Southern Ontario, and into some neighboring states.
		The European Hare, more commonly called a jackrabbit, was introduced to southern Ontario in the early 1900's, not on purpose but accidentally by the escape of some stock brought overseas from Europe.
		European hare feed on field crops during the spring and summer months, and will forage in such fields until the snow becomes too deep.

	Brown hare - The Game Conservancy Trust
		Predators and hunting for food probably controlled brown hare numbers until the 18th and 19th centuries, after which, land enclosure, agricultural improvement and predator control allowed populations to rise.
		Currently hares are a minor shooting quarry, and most that are shot are killed to prevent crop damage, but they are also an animal of the chase and hunting with hounds and coursing with greyhounds have a long history
		Ten hares per kilometre squares is typical for optimum habitat and five for sub-optimum.

		The Belgian Hare rabbit is the breed responsible for the domestic rabbit movement in the United States.
		Some claimed the Belgian Hares were actually a fertile mule (a cross between a rabbit and the European hare), however Winter Lumb prevailed in his stand that it was a rabbit, pure and simple, that was bred to resemble the wild hare.
		Belgian Hares are a very racy and fine-boned breed of rabbit, with a deep rich red color that has fl-waved ticking to the fur.

	Heredity - Abstract of article: Spatial patterns of genetic diversity across European subspecies of the mountain hare, ...
		The mountain hare currently inhabits both temperate and arctic–boreal regions.
		We used nuclear microsatellite and mtDNA sequence data to examine population structure and alternate phylogeographic hypotheses for the mountain hare, that is, temperate type (lower genetic diversity in northern areas) and arctic–boreal type (high northern genetic diversity).
		This is consistent with fossil evidence for intermediate populations in the central European plain, persisting well into the postglacial period.

		The European rabbit is the progenitor of all domesticated varieties of rabbits.
		In response to decreases in food, hares tend to have smaller litters, shorter breeding seasons, and lower pregnancy rates, and face the larger number of predators that are a result of the original increase in hares.
		European hares in breeding season gave rise to the expression, "mad as a March hare." The "dance" is actually the activity of the female hare warding off unwanted advances by males.

		Studies of Danish European brown hare populations indicate that its reproductive success is low compared to that of con-specifics in other countries [27], and has, in turn, declined from the 1950s to the 1990s [28].
		European brown hares mainly forage on grasses and herbs [12], and cereals such as wheat are preferred during winter [29,30], which seems to contradict the results of our analyses.
		European brown hares mainly move along field margins [12,33], and the increasing field size [34] combined with the general loss of suitable habitats possibly force hares to aggregate in the remaining patches of non-agricultural and non-urbanized land.

		The European hare is a dominant species, although a drastic decrease in its numbers has been recorded in recent decades.
		In 1985 the density of the population of this species in separate districts was from 3 to 38 animals (12,8 on the average) per 1.000 ha of forest area, or 3 times lower than in the sixties.
		The mountain hare is considered a rare species, its population density being estimated at 1-2 animals per 1.000 ha of forest area.

		Red foxes are the main cause of the decline in European brown hares, according to a new study published recently in BMC Ecology.
		The researchers found that the change in agricultural land use did have an effect on the hare population, although it was not as marked as that associated with red foxes.
		European brown hares are herbivores that have a tendency to stay in the same small area, making them very susceptible to changes in their surrounding habitats.

	Calicivirus Infections
		European brown hare syndrome was observed in Europe several years before viral hemorrhagic disease was diagnosed in domestic rabbits.
		Because the first recognized outbreak in China occurred in rabbits imported from Europe and since reports of a similar disease in European hares predates the outbreak in China, the original source of the agent of viral hemorrhagic disease may have been wild Leporidae (Lepus europaeus and Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Europe (Loliger and Eskens, 1991).
		Subsequently, the disease was reported in several European countries in 1987 and 1988 (Patton 1989; Gregg and House, 1989; Parra and Prieto, 1990).
