hares
Larger than rabbits
Hares are long-eared mammals related to rabbits but typically larger, with longer legs built for speed.
Unlike rabbits, hares live above ground and their young are born fully furred with open eyes.
To hare is to run fast: We hared off across the field.
A harebrained scheme is reckless or foolish.
