Summary: We can accept that in some cases, when subject to predation pressures, hares will resort to underground escape. However, where predators are not any cause for alarm other environmental factors such as high temperatures might influence hares to seek shelter underground to avoid a severe heat load. There appears to be no record of holes and burrows having been excavated and used by the hares themselves
