Learn why baby hares stay cozy and hidden under bushes to stay safe and wait for their mum. A simple explanation perfect for kids.
Hi there! Let's talk about baby hares and why they stay snug under bushes waiting for their mum.
Baby hares, called leverets, are born in the wild. They need to stay safe from animals that might want to harm them. To keep safe, they stay hidden under bushes or tall grass. This helps them stay warm and hidden from predators like foxes or birds of prey.
Also, baby hares stay very still and quiet so no one notices them. Their mums visit only once or twice a day to feed them, because visiting too often might draw attention to the babies. That’s why the leverets wait patiently and stay snug under bushes, where they are protected.
So, baby hares use hiding and staying still as their best way to stay safe until they are big enough to run away from danger!
