Bugs Bunny, Brer Rabbit and the Easter Bunny are actually hares, not rabbits!
Bugs and Brer were modelled on jackrabbits (long eared, long legged hares)
The voice of Bugs Bunny, Mel Blanc, did not like carrots, yet he had to chew them during recordings to get the "crunch"
Hares are portrayed in different cultures as sacred, evil, wise, destructive, clever and sexy.
Hares can run at 48mph and jump 2.5m.
A female hare can produce 42 leverets a year xxx
