Hares have longer ears.

From wikipedia:
Hares and jackrabbits are leporids <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leporidae> belonging to the genus <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genus> Lepus. Hares are classified in the same family <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_(biology)> as rabbits <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit>. They are similar in size to rabbits and have similar herbivorous diets, but generally have longer ears and live solitarily <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solitary_animal> or in pairs. They do not dig burrows, but nest in slight depressions called forms, often in long grass. Also unlike rabbits, their young are able to fend for themselves shortly after birth <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precociality> rather than emerging blind and helpless <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altriciality>. Most are fast runners. Hare species are native to Africa, Eurasia, and North America.

Actually a fine composition. No indigenous Rabbits in SA although there
are some Hare species in the wild.
