There are still Irish hare found in the Belfast Hills despite a substantial decline in their population in Northern Ireland in the last 10 to 20 years. These incredible animals have long powerful back legs that help them reach speeds of up to 30 miles per hour and jump heights of around two metres! Hares shelter in a hollow depression above ground known as a form and raise their leverets there. They can live for up to nine years.
