What is a hares lair called?
Unlike a rabbit who inhabits a burrow underground, a hare will take shelter and bear its young in a shallow depression that is referred to as a 'form.' These forms often consist of a flattened nest of grass. Sometimes the forms are lined with fur, especially when they are used to give birth. Hares are precocial: young hares are born fully furred and with eyes open. Hence they are able to fend for themselves soon after birth, despite the lack of physical protection the form offers relative to a burrow. By contrast, the related rabbits and cottontail rabbits are altricial: their young that are born blind and hairless. All rabbits (except the cottontail rabbits) live underground in burrows or warrens, while hares (and cottontail rabbits) live in simple nests above the ground, and usually do not live in groups. Hares are generally larger than rabbits, with longer ears, and have black markings on their fur. Hares have not been domesticated, while rabbits are kept as house pets. The domestic pet known as the "Belgian hare" is a rabbit that has been selectively bred to resemble a hare.
