Rabbits or Hares?
 
1 Attachment(s)
Since we stopped having chemicals sprayed in our garden we have had a lot more wildlife.

After several years of absence, the rabbits are back.

Or are they hares? The ears are large, and the rear legs are much bigger than the forelegs.

They are actually genetic mutated crickets that have been eating in your pesticide laced garden.

We have Massey and plenty of bunny rabbits. I love watching them out the windows. The dogs don't seem to bother them. Self-confident bunny rabbits! Now if only we could get some deer.

Finally saw our first deer today at 5.30am on the way to Orlando airport....it was a tiny one. We are surprised there are not a whole lot more here in Jurassic Park.

I think those are rabbits. The only true hares in the US are "jackrabbits" that you find in Kansas and out West.
