Hares: Don’t try to outrun one—some can go 50 MPH. They live in nests and are prococial—the young can move about on the own from birth. Hares are native to the New World and Old World. The origin of the word “hare” is obscure, likely meaning gray beast. A young hare is is a leveret. A group of hares is called a husk, down, or drove. While I have no hare nests on my property, a drove is not far away. Mama hares often bring young hares to my yard to teach them how to graze (many plants are poisonous).
