The leaping
Jackrabbit Weather Vane above is handcrafted entirely
from copper. The grass is made from brass to provide a
contrast to the all copper jackrabbit weathervane.
The unique tooling marks provide a realistic texture effect to
mimic its fur. A glass eye enhances the realism while
adding additional color and sparkle.
Hares and jackrabbits are
leporids
belonging to the genus Lepus. (There are four
other species of leporid in the genera.
Caprolagus
and
Pronolagus
are also called "hares".) Very young hares, less than one year
old, are called leverets.
Hares are very
fast-moving. The European Brown Hare (Lepus europaeus)
can run at speeds of up to 72 km/h (45 mph). They live
solitarily or in pairs, while "a drove of hares" is the
collective noun for a group of hares.
Normally a shy animal, the European Brown Hare
changes its behavior in spring, when hares can
be seen in broad daylight chasing one another
around meadows; this appears to be competition
between males to attain dominance (and hence
more access to breeding females). During this
spring frenzy, hares can be seen "boxing"; one
hare striking another with its paws (probably
the origin of the term "mad as a March hare").
For a long time it had been thought that this
was inter-male competition, but closer
observation has revealed that it is usually a
female hitting a male, either to show that she
is not yet quite ready to mate, or as a test of
his determination.
