A wild animal similar to a rabbit but larger, with longer ears and legs, known for being very fast runners.
From Old English 'hara,' related to Old Norse and Germanic words; the animal itself was named for its swiftness (possibly from a root meaning 'to hurry').
Hares are so fast they can reach 35 mph and outrun most predators, but in 'The Tortoise and the Hare' fable, the hare's overconfidence loses the race—the story was really a lesson about hard work beating natural talent.
