A baby hare is called a “leveret.”
Leverets are born fully furred with their eyes open and are able to move around shortly after birth. This is quite different from rabbits, whose young, known as kits, are born hairless and blind. Hares, such as the European brown hare, tend to give birth to their young in simple nests, and leverets are quite independent even at a young age. They rely on their camouflage to avoid predators, rather than hiding in a burrow like rabbits do. So, while the term ‘leveret’ might not be as commonly known as ‘kit,’ it perfectly describes these unique creatures in their early life stages.
