Is the Easter Bunny a rabbit or a hare?

The Easter Bunny is a hare, not a rabbit.  Although rabbits and hares are a lot alike, there are several differences.

For example, hares (like the one pictured) are generally larger and faster than rabbits and have have longer ears and larger feet than rabbits.

Hares also live above ground.

Hares under a year old are called “leverets”.
