Also known as the hare genus, jackrabbit
Hares are mammals belonging to the genus Lepus. They are herbivores and live solitarily or in pairs. They nest in depressions in the ground called forms, and their young are able to fend for themselves shortly after birth. The genus includes the largest lagomorphs. Most are fast runners with long, powerful hind legs, and large ears that dissipate body heat. Hare species are native to Africa, Eurasia and North America. A hare less than one year old is called a leveret. A group of hares may be called either a husk or a down.

種 參見內文 兔屬(学名:Lepus)是兔形目兔科下的一属動物,也是兔科的模式属。本属的兔子十分靈活,當中歐洲野兔能以時速72公里奔跑。本属的兔子通常是獨自或成對生活的。 在英文中,常与粗毛兔屬(Caprolagus)及岩兔屬(Pronolagus)中的四個物種合稱为“hare”(意为“野兔”)。 在北美洲的北極地區較為普遍的是白靴兔,南部則以加利福尼亞兔、草原兔及其他物種較為普遍。 它们一般都是害羞的動物,並會在春天改變其行為模式。雄兔會在白天互相追逐,來顯示自己的優越性。而雌兔則會「拳擊」雄兔,目的似乎是表示牠們未有準備交配,或是測試雄兔的決心。 目录 1 特征与习性 2 分類 3 傳說及神話 4 參考 5 外部連結 特征与习性 兔属动物的巢穴不像其它属的兔子般是在地底的,而是一個以草堆成或淺窩的巢。它们出生時已有完整的兔毛及打開的眼睛,故習慣了沒有天然屏障的巢。牠們在出生後立刻能快速的閃避,相反其它属的兔如林兔屬(Sylvilagus)都是胎後發育的,幼兔出生時沒有毛即是盲的。 本属兔子一般都較輕,耳朵較長,毛皮上有黑色的斑紋。本属兔子绝少被馴養,而常见的寵物兔则是属于穴兔属的穴兔(Oryctolagus cuniculus)。現時有一種寵物稱為「比利時野兔」,但其實是穴兔的一個選種,外表像兔属而已。[1] 兔属的食性與其它兔科亲戚基本相似。 分類 草兔。 兔屬(Lepus)[2] 亞屬 Macrotolagus 羚羊兔(Lepus alleni) 亞屬 Poecilolagus 白靴兔(Lepus americanus) 兔亞屬(Lepus) 北極兔(Lepus arcticus) 阿拉斯加兔(Lepus othus) 雪兔(Lepus timidus) 原真兔亞屬(Proeulagus) 加利福尼亞兔(Lepus californicus) Lepus callotis 草兔(Lepus capensis) 黃喉兔(Lepus flavigularis) Lepus insularis 藪兔(Lepus saxatilis) 藏兔(Lepus tibetanus) 蒙古兔(Lepus tolai) 真兔亞屬(Eulagos) 西班牙兔(Lepus castroviejoi) 雲南兔(Lepus comus) 韓國野兔(Lepus coreanus) 科西嘉島野兔(Lepus corsicanus) 歐洲野兔(Lepus europaeus) 格拉納達野兔(Lepus granatensis) 東北兔(Lepus mandschuricus) 高原兔(Lepus oiostolus) Lepus starcki 草原兔(Lepus townsendii) 亞屬 Sabanalagus Lepus fagani Lepus microtis 印度兔亞屬

Hares are mammals belonging to the genus Lepus. They are herbivores and live solitarily or in pairs. They nest in depressions in the ground called forms, and their young are able to fend for themselves shortly after birth. The genus includes the largest lagomorphs. Most are fast runners with long, powerful hind legs, and large ears that dissipate body heat. Hare species are native to Africa, Eurasia and North America. A hare less than one year old is called a leveret. A group of hares may be called either a husk or a down.
Members of the Lepus genus are considered true hares, distinguishing them from rabbits which make up the rest of the Leporidae family. There are five species with common names that include the word "hare" which are not considered true hares: the hispid hare, and four species known as red rock hares (belonging to the genus Pronolagus). Conversely, several Lepus species are called "jackrabbits", but classed as hares rather than rabbits. The pet known as the Belgian hare is a domesticated European rabbit which has been selectively bred to resemble a hare.
