Rabbits:  Non-native, introduced to British Isles by the Normans (some say the Romans).  Smaller, shorter ears and hind legs, nest underground, social animals, eat soft stems/grass/veg, born very immature.  

Hares:  Native to Britain and Ireland. Larger, longer ears and hind legs, coats change colour seasonally, nest and live above ground, solitary animals, eat twiggy vegetation, shoots etc. born fully furred and mobile.

They both eat their own poo, though.  I'm sure House of Usher can elaborate.

There are a LOT more Rabbits around than Hares and i have only seen a Hare once years ago in the Castle Howard estate and that was 20 years ago so they must be very scarce.

Hares prefer unimproved ground with plenty of cover, rabbits are happy enough with parks, lawns and golf courses.  Guess which species is in decline.  We have two species of hare in Ireland, our native Irish, and the introduced Brown or European hare.  Does Britain still have an introduced as well as a native strain?  (I only know this stuff because they're useful archaeological dating markers:  rabbit bones = 12th C or later; Brown hare = 19th C or later).

M.I.K.

Seems to be quite a few around here. Saw two while out for a walk a couple of days ago, both in fields next to woodland.

I did not know that. I love hares and this makes me very happy

I see a lot of hares from the train when I'm travelling through Sth Lincs.  There are parts of the county where local by-laws have been enacted to make it illegal to go lamping and hare populations have increased greatly. Which is a good thing because they are wonderful.

I drew a rabbit because my cousin's little boy hasn't seen one near him in Kent and the picture I used as rabbit ref was bigger in his I-spy book. :)

You say nightmare, I say premonitions.
if I went 'round saying I was an Emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

@Staticgirl obviously doesnt get out very much because whenever i go into town or into a shop there are usually Zombies to be found.There was a whole queue of them in a shop earlier on.They are usually passive rather than aggressive.

This is the first attempt at figuring out how I would like to draw Dredd. I am not convinced by this first version so would love some feedback - I will probably post more up shortly...
