A hare looks like a rabbit at first glance, but in general hares have longer ears, very large hind feet, and longer legs made for jumping. Hares are also born with their fur and their eyes open, unlike the rabbit. Telescoping ears helps the hare gather sounds from many directions, giving it a keen sense of hearing. Large hind feet help it stand up and reach branches to feed on. It has a sensitive nose and whiskers, which helps it smell or sense danger in the air. Its teeth are very strong, made for gnawing on tree bark, woody twigs and tree buds. A young hare is called a leveret?
