Hares are distinguishably different from rabbits. Hares are generally larger than rabbits, with longer ears.
I did the word for hare because I could not find any Old English word for rabbit. There is a Latin word for rabbit.

No word for rabbit? That's odd...
Yes, it seems so. And I checked multiple sources -- the Freelang dictionary, Old English Translator, and the Old English Dictionary which is cross-referenced with Bosworth & Toller.
