=============================================
Separating the two can be done by looking at the differences in size, life history, and preferred habitat. In general, rabbits are smaller and have shorter ears than
hares. They are born without fur and with closed eyes after a gestation period of 30-31 days. Rabbits prefer to hide, rather than run, from their enemies. They prefer
habitats composed of trees and shrubs, where they live in burrows dug into the soil. Hares, in contrast, are larger, and they are born fully developed with fur and
open eyes after a gestation period lasting about 42 days. They are runners, preferring open-area habitats such as prairies, where they make their nests in small open
depressions.
So what is the difference between between Rabbits and Hares?
Where did the word rabbit come from?
Until the 18th century, rabbits were called coneys, based on the French conil, shortened from the Latin cuniculus. Rabbit first referred to the young of coneys until eventually the word took over in popularity. Incidentally, that’s also the origin of the name Coney Island (or Rabbit Island), the beachside amusement park in New
York. It is one of the only references to coney that’s still used in North America.
Where did the word hare come from?
The word hare is a very old one in the English language. Developing from the Old English hara, hare is recorded before 900. The deeper roots of hare are Germanic in
origin; compare the Danish word hare. Hare is related to the Dutch haas and German Hase. The Old English hasu meaning “gray,” may be connected to hare.
Where did the word bunny come from?
So, what about bunnies, and specifically the Easter bunny? Bunny was originally (and sometimes still is) used as a term of endearment for a young girl. Over time, it
started to mean a young and/or small animal, and now it usually means a rabbit.
Baby hares, called leverets, are born looking like miniature version of their parents - fully furred, eyes open, and pretty much ready to begin hopping around. They
are able to live on their own only an hour or so after being born and are weaned somewhere within two to three weeks. Baby rabbits, called kits or kittens, conversely,
are born hairless, blind, and helpless - and they need the attentions of their mothers for about eight weeks.
