Description: Thought to have been introduced into the UK in Roman Times (or even earlier), the brown hare is now considered naturalised. It is most common in grassland habitats and at woodland edges, favouring a mosaic of arable fields, grasses and hedgerows. It grazes on vegetation and the bark of young trees and bushes. Brown hares do not dig burrows, but shelter in 'forms', which are shallow depressions in the ground or grass; when disturbed, they can be seen bounding across the fields, using their powerful hind legs to propel them forwards, often in a zigzag pattern. Brown hares are at their most visible in early spring when the breeding season encourages fighting or 'boxing'. Females can produce three to four litters of two to four young (known as leverets) a year.

Brown Hare

A sleeker, larger, and more athletic relative of the rabbit, the brown hare is
able to adapt to a variety of climates. It has one of the largest
distributions of any mammal species. During springtime, brown hares can be
seen running around, leaping in the air, and engaging in bouts of boxing. This
frantic display occurs before mating and has given rise to the expression mad
as a March hare.
