Konijn en Haas - Rabbit and Hare
Konijn - Rabbit
Konijnen behoren niet tot de knaagdieren, al wordt dit vaak gedacht. Knaagdieren beschikken in het bovenste deel van het gebit over maar twee snijtanden, terwijl haasachtigen er vier hebben waarvan de twee stifttanden achter de bovenste snijtanden staan. Het konijn leeft alleen van plantaardig voedsel. Ook eet het zijn eigen keutels op. De grootte van het wilde konijn zit tussen die van de echte hazen en de fluithazen in met een lengte van 35 tot 50 cm. De precieze lengte is afhankelijk van het ras. De achterpoten van het konijn zijn relatief veel korter dan die van de hazen, maar langer dan die van de fluithazen. De buik is veel lichter van kleur dan de rug, vaak wit. Ook de onderzijde van de staart en de poten is wit.
Rabbits are not rodents, though often thought. Rodents have accommodation in the upper part of the teeth on but two incisors, whereas Lagomorphs have four of which the two pin teeth behind the upper incisors. The rabbit lives alone of vegetable food. Also eat the droppings on his own. the size of the wild rabbit is between that of the real hares and Pikas in with a length of 35 to 50 cm. The exact length depends on the breed. The hind legs of the rabbit are relatively much shorter than that of the hares, but longer than those of the Pikas. The abdomen is much lighter in color than the back, often white. Also the bottom of the tail and the legs is white.

Haas - Hare
Oppervlakkig lijkt een haas veel op het konijn, maar hij is groter, met in verhouding grotere oren met zwarte uiteinden en langere ledematen. Ook beweegt een haas zich meer met sprongen voort. De Europese haas heeft een grijzig geel- tot roestbruine vacht, die dient als camouflage. De onderzijde is grijzig wit van kleur. Er zijn echter vele kleurvarianten bekend, waaronder zandkleurig albino of geheel zwart. Jonge dieren hebben vaak een witte vlek op de kop. De bovenzijde van het korte staartje ( Pluim ) is zwart van kleur, de onderzijde wit. De lange oren ( Lepels ) zijn grijs met een zwarte punt. De haas ruit twee keer per jaar, in de lente en in de herfst. De zomervacht is lichter van kleur dan de meer rossige wintervacht. De vacht is dicht en zacht en bestaat uit drie haartypen: een ondervacht met haren van 15 mm, donsharen van 24 tot 27 mm en dekharen van 32 tot 35 mm. De ogen zijn groot en goudbruin en worden omringd door lichtere vacht.
Superficially seems to be a Bunny rabbit, but he is much larger, with proportionally bigger ears with black ends and longer limbs. Also moves a Hare itself more with jumps. The European Hare has a greyish yellow to rust-brown fur, which serves as camouflage. The underside is greyish white in color. However, there are many color variations known, including sand-coloured albino or completely black. Young animals often have a white spot on the head. The top of the short tail (plume) is black in color, the underside white. The long-eared (Spoons) are grey with a black tip. Daniel pane twice a year, in the spring and in the autumn. The summer coat is lighter in color than the more Ruddy winter coat. The coat is dense and soft and consists of three hair types: an undercoat with hair of 15 mm, fuzzy hairs, from 24 to 27 mm and guard hairs from 32 to 35 mm. The eyes are large and golden brown and are surrounded by lighter coat.
