Why do hares have long legs t the back and shorter legs at the back?
Wiki User
∙ 6y ago
Hares have longer legs at the back and shorter legs at the front to enhance their running speed and agility. The longer hind legs provide powerful propulsion and help them escape predators quickly, while the shorter front legs aid in steering and balance during high-speed chases. This asymmetrical leg structure is a specialized adaptation for their survival in their natural habitat.
