The Brown Hare Lepus europaeus was introduced in Iron Age times from the North Sea fringe countries. They are widespread on low ground throughout England, Wales and Scotland, but scarce in Ireland. Brown hares live in very exposed habitats, open fallow fields and woodland edges. They rely on acute senses to escape predators and human interference, by running at speeds of up to 70 kph.
