The Arabian Hare

The Arabian hare is the largest species of Cape hare and can be found in Syria, Lebanon, northern Israel, the United Arab Emirates and across the Arabian peninsula. Arabic names for hares in this region include arnab, arneeb, harneed and haineeb.

Arabian hares have exceptionally long ears and pale, almost bleached coats which serve as effective camouflage for their life in the desert.

Much smaller than their European counterparts, Arabian hares rarely drink water, but obtain moisture from the grasses and shrubs that they eat.

Elaborate Means

Hares have . . . developed relatively complex escape and concealment strategies in addition to speed, endurance and camouflage. . . . The brown hare in particular employs elaborate means to confuse its scent trail, including doubling back on its tracks; leaping sideways to break the trail; entering and leaving its form in ways designed to construct a 'maze' for predators hunting by scent. They also establish regular routes or 'racetracks' in the vicinity of their forms, and 'meuses' or gaps in hedges and fences facilitating rapid egress from enclosed fields.
