There's a common belief that rabbits & hares are not caring & attentive mothers but this wonderful video completely unravels the myth. :) (BTW ~ Happy Mother's Day, everyone!)

This is how I know I'm soft. I cried when they were sat together after being covered up by mum. I cried when one of them disappeared. I cried when he/she was waiting for mum under the car and then were reunited. Emotional roller-coaster but absolutely beautiful.

How lovely. We had a little baby leveret for 7 weeks whilst on Crete: we saw her hopping forlornly by the roadside, a tiny little thing, and didn't think she could survive out there alone, so scooped her up in my father's hat and took her home. Sure enough, 30 seconds later we passed a large dog padding down the mountain-side in the direction. We had lovely Mopsy for 7 weeks, allowing her freedom to roam the bottom floor of the house, with little nests of Hay in her favourite spots which she tended to rotate around during the day. She used to do binkies on my mother's bed all night long and followed my mother around the house like a little dog! We had hoped to send her to a wildlife charity for rewilding although I don't think we could have honestly done it as we loved her too much and she was a member of the family. Unfortunately she must have accidentally slipped out one day when my Mother held the door open. We didn't see it happen, and Mopsy had showed no interest in going outside previously. Perhaps the time was right, but there's not a day that goes by where I don't think about my little baby hare. She left a hare-shaped hole in my heart on the Cretan mountainside and I will never forget her. I'm hoping to put together a little commemorative page for her as we took so many videos, but it is still a bit painful.

It must be great to have this wildlife in your garden. My parents had a fox and hedgehogs, woodpeckers and different birds, their home was semi-urban. But to have a hare living there and being able to film is great

I've been raising an orphan leveret for the past 2 weeks from the day he was 1-2 days old. He's an amazing creature. I have 3 bunnies but this little guy is more loving and has more spunk than all 3 combined. EDIT: the bun has congenital hernia. he's been disabled and scheduled for surgery this month so unreleasable :(

The visuals are incredible! Cannot get anymore professional.

The big difference between rabbits and hare is already occurring by birth when you witness rabbits been born they are helpless and blind and when young hares are born they are fully evolved they have their fur is already fully insulating them, and they are alert and can already run quite fast if necessary nature's diversity is so fascinating and beautiful it really keep surprising me and to mister Fuller thak you very much for this nice video and your deep insight into their life

When the mother hare arrived to help chase away the stout from the leveret...she must have some sort of sixth sense or intuition that told her her baby was in danger, and she immediately knew to go help. What a kind, caring, beautiful mama. Humans could learn so much more about compassion from animals.
