I came here to say same thing. I also learned that a baby hare is a leveret. Gonna add that to my vocabulary. 😉 I think the hare is much more fun to watch. Their having longer limbs makes a world of difference.
@Bacon Pancakes Rabbits have shorter ears and legs for burrowing, they live a group. Hares are loners, have longer legs and ears for running live in nest above the surface.

Unfortunately the truth is quite dark. Her husband, Jack, was awarded joint custody, but Jill took the leverets into the bushes to avoid ‘dealing’ with Jack. During the day, she maintained the ruse, by drinking down at her local. Nature can be cruel…
This is how I know I'm soft. I cried when they were sat together after being covered up by mum. I cried when one of them disappeared. I cried when he/she was waiting for mum under the car and then were reunited. Emotional roller-coaster but absolutely beautiful.
@@joeymachine5949 A grown person should not have an emotional response to a video of a wild hare. The owl needs to eat. The stoat needs to eat. Circle of life and all that.
It's nice how she chose to feed and leave the grown baby hare in an open driveway with lights around. She probably knows it's safer being near your home than in the woods
I think it is so that the young hare can have a clear open view to notice any hungry predator on a hunt. And hopefully make a successful escape into the woods should that be the case. Staying in the woods can make the inexperienced young hare an easy target for predators that hunt with their noses. Fortunately, hares are speedy runners and long distance jumpers.
There's a common belief that rabbits & hares are not caring & attentive mothers but this wonderful video completely unravels the myth. :) (BTW ~ Happy Mother's Day, everyone!)
How lovely. We had a little baby leveret for 7 weeks whilst on Crete: we saw her hopping forlornly by the roadside, a tiny little thing, and didn't think she could survive out there alone, so scooped her up in my father's hat and took her home. Sure enough, 30 seconds later we passed a large dog padding down the mountain-side in the direction. We had lovely Mopsy for 7 weeks, allowing her freedom to roam the bottom floor of the house, with little nests of Hay in her favourite spots which she tended to rotate around during the day. She used to do binkies on my mother's bed all night long and followed my mother around the house like a little dog! We had hoped to send her to a wildlife charity for rewilding although I don't think we could have honestly done it as we loved her too much and she was a member of the family. Unfortunately she must have accidentally slipped out one day when my Mother held the door open. We didn't see it happen, and Mopsy had showed no interest in going outside previously. Perhaps the time was right, but there's not a day that goes by where I don't think about my little baby hare. She left a hare-shaped hole in my heart on the Cretan mountainside and I will never forget her. I'm hoping to put together a little commemorative page for her as we took so many videos, but it is still a bit painful.
Your diligence and patience were well rewarded by not only encountering these beautiful creatures, but having them come straight to your very own garden. It doesn't get much better than this. Congratulations on your incredible work! Thank you sincerely for your generosity in sharing your treasure with us. Five stars from me. ☆☆☆☆☆

I am always stunned by your storytelling abilities. As captivating as the stunning footage that you capture is, your storytelling matches it and brings everything to a new level. Excellent work, as always.
What a great mother! Happy mother's day to all mother hares who scare off predators, risking their lives to protect their babies. Great videography and what a beautiful countryside.
I only watched these precious moments of the leverets together and felt so sad when one was lost, so goodness knows how Mr Fuller felt after filming them so beautifully! Thank you for these amazing moments 🌹
Just wonderful to see this up close, the babies are super cute.. but I'm fascinated with mumma hare's eyes, they are like marbles! Thanks for sharing, life in the wild is definitely not easy! 🦘
How beautiful! We have a small hare family in our garden now in Norfolk. The leveret is now exploring confidently. First for 12 yrs. It’s such a privilege as these animals are under so much pressure
Such fascinating videos!! Oh my heart when one disappeared!! To be alone all day from morn till night, poor babies! Tears when the wee one was under the car waiting for mum. Thank you so much for such passion and dedication for wildlife and you paint as well!! Wow!! 🥰🥰🥰
how stunning! how scared they all are and such brave new babes facing the world and good mama to protect them with all she knows... happy Easter 🐰 🐇 🐰 🌷
Hi Robert, thanks for taking the time to provide these wonderful videos, they're delightful to watch and makes us appreciate the wildlife we have on our doorsteps.
loved this and so adorable. What gifts you give us! What amazing mothers we have in the natural world and your love for all of them shines through every moment. Thank you!🥰
It must be great to have this wildlife in your garden. My parents had a fox and hedgehogs, woodpeckers and different birds, their home was semi-urban. But to have a hare living there and being able to film is great
Sat the other day giving my elderly dog a rest & a line of 4 hares went running past a field gate. I looked over the wall to see them chasing each other , having a rare old time. Love hares. Lots of them around in the fields of my Yorkshire village. Great footage !
I raised rabbits for several years, and observed their life cycle, gains and losses. So very different from leverets! The survival of the species is a miracle.
Absolutely amazing that there is this much action of a small English farm, and more amazing is how it’s all captured for us to see. The bits of real drama that young hares encounter growing up. I feel like we have all gotten a very rare insight into the life of a hare. Nice work, subscribed for more.
@@RobertEFuller You are a wonderful photographer. Thank you for sharing these beautiful videos and photos of your home and all of the wildlife that you have encouraged to live around you.
When the mother hare arrived to help chase away the stout from the leveret...she must have some sort of sixth sense or intuition that told her her baby was in danger, and she immediately knew to go help. What a kind, caring, beautiful mama. Humans could learn so much more about compassion from animals.
I am as amazed by you Robert as an outstanding artist, a wildlife photographer and documentor and as a human being as much as I am amazed at the beautiful wildlife you film and care for so much. You are a Godsend to all, thank you so much Robert for everything. I wish you many Blessings. Be Safe and Be Well.

It’s such a joy to see the rabbits with their young emerge in the spring. I’d no idea how long the little’ uns continue to nurse. Watching over morning coffee in Nashville. Cheers.

Hare just kinda lightly taps the area around the babies "Yeah that aughta do it."

Not really there loads hares up Yorkshire
Its fascinating to see the difference between how a hare moves around versus a rabbit.
longer legs it seems
So similar though...there again they are both lagamorphs.
The only two members of the species... (I think)

Jill was a drunker and did a 1 night stand. Got prego. Jack who was the father, pump and dump.
Yeah I was thinking about how these babies will most likely end up food for some kestrals or something

What a lovely video! Thank you for sharing this mother’s care of her baby.❤❤❤

Thanks 😊 a lot of time and dedication and most important knowledge of the subject I love to film what most people don’t get to see

Amazing how the levered rolled over at just the right time to be groomed.......made me happy and laughed out loud.
Aye love the brown hare, an incredible animal, and never knew the mother left them all day then came back at night to feed them.
Such mysterious beautiful creatures, great work. ❤️👌
