Lepus europaeus

European Hare

Europaeischer Feldhase

The Europan hare as a prey animal is characterized by its big eyes, long ears, great sense of smell and long legs. The hare reaches top speeds of 70 km/h. Its popularity is reflected in the German language. See for instance the saying: "Many dogs are the death of the hare." In German fairytales he is called "Meister Lampe," and everyone knows the Easter bunny. European hare ducking in a furrow. Simbach/Inn, Germany
