Be careful with these sorts of generalizations when it's to related, but not identical, species. We can see with Bonobos and Chimpanzees that even within a genus there can be big behavioral differences.
For instance, your Hare link goes to Lepus.
Non-domesticated European rabbits (Oryctolagus) exist. If you don't trust that there hasn't been cross-breeding with domesticated rabbits, then Caprolagus would be a better comparison. Even Sylvilagus, phylogenetically closer to Oryctolagus than Lepus, is behaviorally distinct (not existing in warrens).
- ftxbro 3y ago> Coprolagus would be a better comparison Coprolagus (the 'poop hare') is a lesser known relative of the genus Caprolagus (the 'goat hare').
- anonymouskimmer 3y agoI thought what I wrote looked wrong. Thanks. I'm correcting the initial comment.
