Hares are everywhere, among dandelions, in the snow, in parks, on parking lots, or in inner courtyards. They sit back on their haunches, ears pricked, darting off in quick, zigzag bursts. Just about anyone who has lived here has startled some hares. This year’s nationwide Hare Revels will bound their way through the festival, where visitors can encounter delegations of hares and even peek into their burrows.
Lepus europaeus
Hares are remarkably fast, reaching speeds of up to 72 km/h and covering distances of up to 3 metres in a single leap. They communicate over long distances by thumping their hind legs against trees or logs. Their characteristic zigzag run is said to result from one hind leg being slightly shorter than the other, making them harder for predators to catch. Their ears are rich in blood vessels, helping them regulate body temperature in hot weather.
