Hares and rabbits are rodents, which mean they have long, sharp front teeth. Their hind legs are longer than their forelegs, so they actually run faster uphill than downhill. When they are pursued, they resort to some clever tricks. One is to crisscross their tracks and the other is to take huge leaps in order to break the scent of their tracks.

Hares and rabbits are purely vegetarians. But there are many differences between hares and rabbits. Hares are larger and have bigger feet and longer ears. Hares do not dig burrows or live in groups as rabbits do. Hares are born open-eyed and furry. Rabbits are born blind and hairless.
