The Brown hare Lepus europaeus. When a hare rests, it will usually scrape away the vegetation and then lie down on the bare earth. Where a hare has been lying, a shallow depression is made in the shelter of a grass tussock or a rock which will give some protection from the wind. These ‘forms’ which are used to give birth to young may be lined with fur which the mother has plucked from her own fur coat.
