Hares, members of genus ''[[Lepus]]'' of family Leporidae, are medium size mammals native to Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America. North American [[jackrabbit]]s are actually hares. Species vary in size from {{cvt|40|to|70|cm|0}} in length and have long powerful back legs, and ears up to {{cvt|20|cm|0}} in length. Although usually greyish-brown, some species turn white in the winter. They are solitary animals.  Newborns are precocial (eyes and ears open, fully furred). Several litters are born during the year in a form (a nest above ground, usually under a bush). They are preyed upon by large mammalian carnivores and birds of prey.<ref name=Britanniahare>{{cite encyclopedia |url=https://www.britannica.com/animal/hare-mammal |title=Hare |last=Smith |first=Andrew T. |encyclopedia=Encyclopædia Britannica |access-date=2020-09-08}}</ref>
