Taille : 42-68 cm plus 6-13 cm pour la queue (adulte).
Poids : 3-6 kg (adulte).
Diagnose : Le Lièvre d’Europe porte de longues oreilles se finissant par un bout noir. Le pelage dorsal varie du brun foncé au brun roux, les flancs sont plus clairs et le ventre blanc crème. Sa queue est noire dessus et blanche dessous. Il a de grandes pattes postérieures et ses yeux sont jaune foncés.
Détermination : Moyennement difficile à délicate en Corse ou dans le sud de la France.
Espèces proches : Confusion possible avec le Lapin de garenne Oryctolagus cuniculus (Linnaeus, 1758) pour les novices. Les oreilles de ce dernier sont plus courtes et n’ont pas d’extrémités noires et sa silhouette est moins élancée que celle du Lièvre d’Europe. En Corse et dans le sud de la France, il peut se confondre avec, respectivement, le Lièvre corse Lepus corsicanus ou avec le Lièvre ibérique Lepus granatensis.
Période d’observation : Observable toute l’année, préférentiellement la nuit.
Biologie-éthologie : Le Lièvre d’Europe s’accouple de décembre à septembre. En période de bouquinage (=rut), les mâles deviennent très agressifs entre eux. La femelle met de 2 à 4 petits après 6 semaines de gestation. Elle peut avoir plusieurs portées par an. Herbivore, il s’alimente préférentiellement de plantes vertes. Il gîte à même le sol, dans une petite dépression qu’il aura creusée.
Biogéographique et écologie : Il est présent un peu partout en Europe. On le retrouve en milieux ouverts parsemés de buissons.

The map presents a summary at the 10 x 10 km grid of the observation data for the species transmitted to the SINP. These data have been subjected to validation filters.
The map presents a reference distribution layer of the species at the scale of departments and marine sectors. The presence and absence data were established by expertise within a network of partners. This reference distribution is used in the validation process of the SINP data at the INPN level.
Corresponds to a report on the basis of at least one observation proved within a period of 10 years (20 years for little-known invertebrates) preceding the year and no presumption of extinction since obtaining the last data nor doubt on reproductive and implemented nature of this population. For migratory species, the presence indicated concerns areas of reproduction.
This status is based on one or more of the following criteria:
This point covers the absence, more difficult by nature to demonstrate than presence. This status is based on one or more of the following criteria:
This status must be assigned to a department in which the presence of the species is casual.
Particular case of absence due to a proven extinction less than a half century ago (older disappearances are treated as "no probable or definite").
In the state of knowledge, we can not comment on the presence or absence in the current department. This is the default status when not comprised in one of the previous categories or whenever there is doubt.
The map shows the global distribution of the species based on GBIF data (Global Biodiversity Information Facility).
