Someone brought me a newborn hare and I raised him like my baby. He had a congenital disorder, had surgery and couldn't be released because of it. He turned into the most amazing emotional support animal I could ask for. 10 days ago he came to me, jumped in my lap while I was on the couch, laid on my chest, and died. I'm never going to find another creature like him. They're bringing me his ashes next week. Hares are wonderful animals. Very intelligent and have a wide emotional range.
That's such a sad story. I'm sorry for your loss. Hares are my favorite animal that I grew up alongside when they lived in the fields in Northern Ireland within a stone's throw of where the Titanic was built...
My Grandmother used to turn into a Brown Hare and follow me when I went out into the countryside on my own as a child... it was so reassuring to turn around and see her following at a distance. Now as custodian of my own land I watch an abundance of Brown Hares on an almost daily basis, they are powerful, magnificent and magical.
Thanks! It was really interesting, I have been scratched by rabbits and guess that hares feet are the same just on longer and stronger legs. I wonder how much they injure each other? Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment and keep an eye out for my next video: Things you need to know about hedgehogs, which will be out shortly :)
I saw one a few months ago at Carlton marshs Suffolk. I have also regularly seen hares in an area of country side adjacent to Reedham swing bridge in Norfolk.
My fave animal. Beautiful, canny. The shotnof the hare coming towards the camera reminded me of my child hood where I used walk my dog and if I stood still the hares would walk down the track and right up to us. They know they can't be out run.
Thanks a lot this was fantastic .Hares are wonderful and your video taught me a couple of things I didn't know . .👍Best Wishes , and have a great week , Helena
I was surprised by their size too the first time I saw one up close. I think they look even bigger because of how high they stand when they run. Thanks for leaving a comment and have a great weekend.
Lots around our farm on the Shropshire/Cheshire border! Leverets come right up on the patio and don't seem to notice us if we keep still. They love chasing each other round the topiary too.
Excellent video. I saw two hares this week while walking my dog. One popped out of the hedgerow right in front of us. He was as big as my as my Staffordshire Bull terrier.
These hares are great and so cute when they’re babies. I’m very fortunate to live in a rural area in the highlands of Scotland and I’m happy to say we have an abundance of hares. I’ve seen 10-15 in one field. We’re very lucky up here, and the red squirrels are just so handsome I can watch them for hours, I have them in my back garden daily for some nuts. Then at night I get pine martens, badgers, and the odd fox. Truly I couldn’t ask for anything more, maybe a decent digital service 🤷🏻♂️ but it’s worth it.
Hare today....gone tomorrow. I see a few on my walks in the fells. Hares are a magical creature and signify some of the mystery of time and season. They were emblems of fertility in older times for obvious reasons.
50 mph, wow! I have seen a couple of hares in a field as I was driving here on the Isle Of Wight. Only once though. Long legs so was obviously not a rabbit. I stopped one night to drag the body of a fox off of the centre line of the road. No obvious signs of being hit by a car but what amazed me was how big it was. I'd guess over 4 1/2 feet from nose to tail. I left it in the long grass on a verge on a bend. It was gone the next day. I was hoping it was just unconcious and woke up. It was a beautiful animal .
New subscriber! I've already watched your Magpie video and I was impressed so I clicked on this video about Brown Hares and learned a new things I didn't know keep up the good work mate I look forward to watching the rest of your videos.
Cheers! Sorry for the late reply but I hope you have been enjoying my more recent videos as well. The next one will be friday and will contain "things you need to know about carrion crows" which might interest you. Have a great weekend!
Cheers Ian. I am waiting for someone to correct me as they are actually bales of straw but Im not sure its possible to tell from the footage. I hope you are keeping well.
As an agronomist I regularly come across hares, sometimes almost steeping on them before they decide to run off. They are a most delightful animal to watch.
Thanks! I really expected someone to correct me (as they were bales of straw not hay) but thus far no-one has. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, keep an eye out for the next one which will be out later today: Things you need to know about Hedgehogs!
Cheers. I had to remove quite a lot of superstitions and religions as that had became quite a large chunk of the video and I wasnt sure if people would be interested in it. A few have commented to add their own so I should have probably left it in.
One of my favourite creatures , they have a great charisma and always look solitary in the fields when i see them, hate the scumbags who attack them with dogs.
This was excellent. Really interesting and informative. I see absolutely loads of Rabbits, largely because I live in the countryside but it is very rare that I see Hares which is a real shame as they are such fascinating creatures.
Good video with great information. Lots of Hares around where I live but the estate does have a big shoot now and again to keep their numbers down. Lovely animal to see and sooo fast.
I lived in Melbourne for a year. I am a cyclist so was often on bike paths just slightly off the beaten track. There were dozens and dozens of them so there must be many, many thousands around Victoria. The strange thing was that no Australian I spoke to had ever seen one. And every time a I rode I would see them. They would even penetrate very built up suburbs at dusk. They were definitely hares, much too big and leggy for a rabbit, black ear tips etc.
Lots around Canberra too. They used to be around the lake below Wentworth avenue and the used to cross Wentworth ave at the bus stop markets to the park. But that is all developed now so they have moved slightly away from there.
Thanks! Adders are on my list but unfortunately I havent got any footage of them yet (although I have made several dedicated trips to try to find them!). The next video is Hedgehogs, which should be out by the time you read this comment :)
Have just walked across a field which I always walk around the perimeter of and there to my amazement was a hare, first thought it was a rabbit but much too big. So still I thought it wasn’t alive but it’s huge eyes were bright and beautiful, I kept walking and luckily my dog was quite a way away and didn’t see him. I could so easily have taken a photo but I didn’t want to upset him. If I hadn’t seen your video I wouldn’t have known . So thank you so much and I am thrilled beyond thrilled.
Thank you. Your succinct videos are great for me, as I have a very short attention span! Didn't realise they had such a short lives. Sadly, I see the little ones fall victim to cars where I live.
I was out walking on an evening walk in the countryside when I had the unfortunate sight of a dead hare on the side of the road not long dead with the looks of it, it was the first time I've seen one up close and what struck me was its amazing piercing eyes, it's just a shame I had to come across one like this
I can confirm these things are rapid! Saw one this morning sat in the road as I came round the corner and it accelerated from 0 to at least 35 in a second before darting off into a field entrance
Many years ago, I recall my Dobermann and a hare, eyeing one another, across the concrete reinforced banks of a small river. Thirty or so years prior to that, I saw a hare running so quickly when I was walking across a large grassy area just short of the old harbour at Pembrey, West Wales, that our family's Alsatian didn't even see it go.
Saw a pair of huge ones up by Hadrians wall about a week ago. There's aways that moment where to have to look twice to be sure it's not a young deer or a dog. They are blummin huge things. If you ever worry you might not know the difference between a hare and a rabbit. You can't really mistake them. They are much bigger an move in a totally different way.
Some years ago I was walking home late at night.I could hear this noise behind me turning around expecting the worse it was a hare running to the fields.He didn't care about me.He sped past me so quickly.
Did I hear "idiots with dogs" [3:54? If so, that is a personal opinion and not information and ruins what otherwise is a good presentation on the hare.
It'll take a fast young dog to run a hare down, one that's been specifically bred for the task I.e. Lurchers etc. So I took it to mean poachers when he said that, as hare coursing is now illegal in the UK...... So yes, he could have phrased it better!
I live in the Cotswolds and I used to see these wonderful creatures most days but recently we have been troubled by illegal hare coursing and they are not such a common sight as they were
Thanks for your video. We do have brown Hares in Australia, but they are quite rare. I have probably only seen about 10 in 63 years. Put rabbits that's a different matter.
In Ireland hare coursing with greyhounds is a popular pastime in the country. It is very cruel and when caught, the poor hares cry like terrified babies. If people think that animals don't suffer, they need to listen on loop to the sounds of a terrified hare.
Apparently, Hares can also eat meat. And have even been known to cannibalise. A study recently has shown Hares not only eating meat, but defending the carcass for itself. This behaivor is likely to happen in protein defeciant areas, along with the norm that they eat.
Haha, I didnt think they were words I would ever use in a video but nature is nature... Thanks for your support, the next video is out now: Things you need to know about Hedgehogs!
In the UK hares were even safer before the skies were filled with with apex predator buzzards and kites. It used to be true that plenty of leverets on a farm was an indicator of effective management of fox numbers. Nowadays the declining number of field hares is likely to be due to the numbers of buzzards and kites, both these species thriving. Are hares adapting by spending their daylight hours in deciduous & mixed woodland? Just ask yourself where you'd choose to live with (scaled up) 18' wingspan predators soaring overhead.
Brown hares aren't declining according to the game and wildlife Trust, they have increased by 50% in recent years, and that figure comes from a pro-hunting organisation.
While driving a bus in the 80s I clipped a hare one night, I stopped and went back to see if it was dead, it was lying behind the bus and sadly seemed dead , a police car pulled up and asked what had happened, after telling him he went to the boot of his car and came back with an aerosol can and sprayed it on the poor beast, it jumped up an ran off at high speed, I asked him what the hell it was ? Hare restorer he said.
I love hares they are amazing and so is there agility . But I would hunt them too. especially with dogs it's like watching a cheetah chase a gazelle . Since they banned hunting with dogs there's hardly any hares left becaus they all just get shot . Hares can't out run bullets but they can out run lurchers. Witch are amazing themselves . Great video 📹👍✌
Im not so sure that more hares get shot because they don't hunt with dogs. When they were hunted with dogs, the ones caught weren't eaten and it wasn't done to control their numbers. It was done for sport and hare coursing with dogs doesn't actually intend to kill them, but just get them to turn in different directions for fun and gambling. I have nothing against hunting for food, but it should be done in a way that the animal doesnt get scared to death first for no real reason.
@@AShotOfWildlife All of the lads i knew who ran hares with lurchers were for food. A lot more meat than a rabbit & much nicer!. I used to hunt rabbits & pheasants with a female Harris hawk, i never tried hunting hare, she decided that & when she was 3 years old would spot them in their forms in the field & nail them to the spot!!. Not sporting but quite a feat for a bird that weighed 2lb 5ozs. Even the hares she took that were running were not as sporting as a good rabbit flight, good for the hare stew though!
I don't think they are as many hares in the East Riding of Yorkshire where i live. If a buzzard can take a rabbit which they do they will definitely be able to take young hares. But I can still see four or five on my walk in the morning most days.
I had hare for 8 years and just few days ago he passed away out of nowhere. Before he died he was chewing his food and after couple minutes after that he couldnt walk anymore. He was crawling around and breathing hawely after that he slowly lay down on his side. He had few attepts to stand up but he couldnt make it and passed away. After his death i found out he had diarrhea on his buttocks. Do someone know what happened to him ?
Someone brought me a newborn hare and I raised him like my baby. He had a congenital disorder, had surgery and couldn't be released because of it. He turned into the most amazing emotional support animal I could ask for. 10 days ago he came to me, jumped in my lap while I was on the couch, laid on my chest, and died. I'm never going to find another creature like him. They're bringing me his ashes next week. Hares are wonderful animals. Very intelligent and have a wide emotional range.
Im sorry for your loss but glad you got to have such an experience with an animal that most people rarely see, never mind get close to.
That's such a sad story. I'm sorry for your loss. Hares are my favorite animal that I grew up alongside when they lived in the fields in Northern Ireland within a stone's throw of where the Titanic was built...

Hi Helena. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a comment. I’m really glad you enjoy my videos :)
You not only got the choice of music down, but the volume too. Well done.
I've only ever seen one hare in my 50 years between Chelmsford and Braintree on the A130 in a field. I was surprised just how big it was!
I was surprised by their size too the first time I saw one up close. I think they look even bigger because of how high they stand when they run. Thanks for leaving a comment and have a great weekend.
There's an old saying; "Who shoots a hare carries it home". Anyone who's done this won't be so quick to shoot another !

Fabulous creatures, and I don’t think I have ever seen one in the wild. But an excellent and informative video as always.
Great video. I see hares almost every day on the farm where I live in Suffolk and I never get bored of seeing these beautiful creatures.
Glad you mentioned the Idiots with dogs.
I've seen a few Hares on golf courses. Its fun to watch them take off.
always love seeing hares, see a few when out at work and their speed is always amazing.
There is actually a species of Hare in NI that arent found anywhere else, I must go looking for them the next time I am over that way :)

I have never seen a hare so was surprised that there are so many, hopefully one day I'll get lucky.
They are so precious to us that we have a patron saint for hares. Santes Melangell... 🏴🏴

Over half a million pairs in the UK, yet they're still pretty rare to see. Just shows how good they are at hiding and not being noticed.

I lived in Melbourne for a year. I am a cyclist so was often on bike paths just slightly off the beaten track. There were dozens and dozens of them so there must be many, many thousands around Victoria.
The strange thing was that no Australian I spoke to had ever seen one. And every time a I rode I would see them. They would even penetrate very built up suburbs at dusk. They were definitely hares, much too big and leggy for a rabbit, black ear tips etc.
Maybe the British took them there for hunting.
Lots around Canberra too. They used to be around the lake below Wentworth avenue and the used to cross Wentworth ave at the bus stop markets to the park. But that is all developed now so they have moved slightly away from there.
Brown hares also introduced to Canada too. Surprised you missed that.
Predominantly Ontario.

I can confirm these things are rapid! Saw one this morning sat in the road as I came round the corner and it accelerated from 0 to at least 35 in a second before darting off into a field entrance
Hare’s resting place is named a scrape according to our local and wider references, obviously another variation never heard of that one before.

If you ever worry you might not know the difference between a hare and a rabbit. You can't really mistake them. They are much bigger an move in a totally different way.
So how many different types of hare are their?
In the UK there are 2 but 3 subspecies. The brown hare, the Irish hare and the mountain hare.

Hares are also very common in new zealand .They are very hardy animals and can live in very cold alpine areas living on course alpine grasses.

When I was a boy we would have Hare stew with carrots 🥕 and potatoes 🥔 😋 it was wonderful especially after 3 days in the fridge 🙏
Aren't male hares called jacks and females called jills? As far as I know, a doe and a buck are terms used for rabbits.
I think there may be regional differences. In the UK the correct term is definitely buck and doe but I think it's different in the USA
brilliant

can hares interbreed with rabbits?
No. They are too far separated genetically to successfully breed although there are some species that look almost like a hybrid.
Lot in New Zealand too. Love hunting hares. Smarter than rabbits.
I love hares , but not hunting them
Ja go znam, dajcie mu spokój, to mój ziomek, WOLNOŚĆ DLA HARESÓW!!!!
In the UK hares were even safer before the skies were filled with with apex predator buzzards and kites. It used to be true that plenty of leverets on a farm was an indicator of effective management of fox numbers. Nowadays the declining number of field hares is likely to be due to the numbers of buzzards and kites, both these species thriving. Are hares adapting by spending their daylight hours in deciduous & mixed woodland? Just ask yourself where you'd choose to live with (scaled up) 18' wingspan predators soaring overhead.
Brown hares aren't declining according to the game and wildlife Trust, they have increased by 50% in recent years, and that figure comes from a pro-hunting organisation.
Is there any farm or organization in UK or EU; which sells BREEDING PAIRS of European Hare's? We plan to pick a dozen pairs for imports into INDIA'
Hare's are Animals that live above the ground unlike a Rabbit
While driving a bus in the 80s I clipped a hare one night, I stopped and went back to see if it was dead, it was lying behind the bus and sadly seemed dead , a police car pulled up and asked what had happened, after telling him he went to the boot of his car and came back with an aerosol can and sprayed it on the poor beast, it jumped up an ran off at high speed, I asked him what the hell it was ? Hare restorer he said.
Oh dear!
Ireland has native hares. Doesn’t Britain?
Britain has native hares: mountain hares. I have never looked into the history of iris hares and will do so a bit later, itll be interesting.
I love hares they are amazing and so is there agility . But I would hunt them too. especially with dogs it's like watching a cheetah chase a gazelle . Since they banned hunting with dogs there's hardly any hares left becaus they all just get shot . Hares can't out run bullets but they can out run lurchers. Witch are amazing themselves . Great video 📹👍✌
Im not so sure that more hares get shot because they don't hunt with dogs. When they were hunted with dogs, the ones caught weren't eaten and it wasn't done to control their numbers. It was done for sport and hare coursing with dogs doesn't actually intend to kill them, but just get them to turn in different directions for fun and gambling.
I have nothing against hunting for food, but it should be done in a way that the animal doesnt get scared to death first for no real reason.
@@AShotOfWildlife All of the lads i knew who ran hares with lurchers were for food. A lot more meat than a rabbit & much nicer!. I used to hunt rabbits & pheasants with a female Harris hawk, i never tried hunting hare, she decided that & when she was 3 years old would spot them in their forms in the field & nail them to the spot!!. Not sporting but quite a feat for a bird that weighed 2lb 5ozs. Even the hares she took that were running were not as sporting as a good rabbit flight, good for the hare stew though!
Straw?
they are faster running uphill than downhill
I don't think they are as many hares in the East Riding of Yorkshire where i live. If a buzzard can take a rabbit which they do they will definitely be able to take young hares. But I can still see four or five on my walk in the morning most days.
👍
I had hare for 8 years and just few days ago he passed away out of nowhere. Before he died he was chewing his food and after couple minutes after that he couldnt walk anymore. He was crawling around and breathing hawely after that he slowly lay down on his side. He had few attepts to stand up but he couldnt make it and passed away. After his death i found out he had diarrhea on his buttocks. Do someone know what happened to him ?
As a child I thought they look like evil psycho rabbits but nowadays reality admirer there beauty and untamed nature.
They are beautiful.
