16	This index is for tropes related to rabbits and hares. While rabbits and hares are different animals in RealLife, in fiction they are often treated similarly, and are sometimes regarded as one and the same[[note]]though closely related, they are not the same species (or even genus). The main differences are that rabbits are smaller than hares, have shorter legs, and tend to evade enemies by running a short distance and then hiding, while hares just run and run, depending on pure speed[[/note]].
