Moving around looking for food. This website keeps changing the name of this animal. It is actually a Brown Hare (Lepus europaeus)

Hi @Kenp12 , Nature Mapper is training an Artificial Intelligence (machine learning) program called 'Carbon AI'. Carbon learns from its mistakes. Its identifications of mammals have improved a lot, and it now correctly identifies more than 99% of common species like rabbits and eastern grey kangaroos. However it is impossible for Carbon to correctly identify species it has not encountered before or which are rarely reported. Hares are in that category until we observers have reported at least a few hundred of them. Moderators know Carbon cant be trusted to correctly identify the less common species yet.
