Iberian Hare
Lepus granatensis
The Iberian hare inhabits open grasslands, farmland, scrub, and sparsely wooded country across much of Iberia. Mostly active at dusk and night, it feeds on grasses, herbs, crops, and bark. When threatened, it freezes in cover before fleeing in a fast, zigzagging run. Its long hind legs can propel it rapidly and deliver forceful defensive kicks.
