Iberian Hare Leveret
Lepus granatensis (leveret)
This young hare rests in a shallow form among grasses, scrub, and cultivated fields of the Iberian Peninsula. It remains still for long periods and relies on camouflage and sudden bursts of speed when danger approaches. The leveret nurses briefly from its mother and soon begins nibbling grasses and tender herbs. It is born furred with open eyes, allowing it to move about shortly after birth.
