H (number 2) is for Hare
The Corsican or Italian hare prefers grasslands and pastures and is fairly common in some areas but missing or rare in others. It has only relatively recently been shown to be a different species to the European hare. Its population is generally low, and threats to it include the introduction of the European rabbit, predation, poaching – and because it is so similar to the European hare, it is often shot by mistake by hunters.
It is classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. If you’d like to read about the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, click here: iucnredlist.org
