Like a rabbit, but thinner. It has a longer face and typically taller wider ears. Hares tend to have larger hind feet and legs, as they are much more adapted to running at high speeds than rabbits. The tips of their ears are usually tipped with dark brown or black, and their pelts are much like cottontail rabbits with a textured brown to white coloration.
They kind of seem like little tiny deer, and sit almost like a dog. They're also not domesticated like rabbits.
