Huh. Until right now, I thought rabbit and hare were synonyms.

When I saw my first European Hare, I noted how not-cute and cuddly it looked... and thought to call them "hares" to denote to myself that they were not the cute rabbits I was familiar with. But now I feel dumb because that's literally what it is.
