European Hare

The European hare lives primarily 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.

This species has minimal legal protection in most European countries and as a result appears gradually on the Red List as "near threatened" or "threatened".

Dutch name : Haas
German name : Feldhase
