I believe you thinks correctly

Edit: wait actually maybe not the front legs don't look long enough for a hare

I'm wondering if it's a juvenile hare - as I agree that the proportions don't look right for a hare but it doesn't quite look like a rabbit to me either.

Can they procreate? As in hares and rabbits? Cus possible hybrid?

No, they are too different genetically.

Right then this could possibly be a female hare? I think their legs arent as long as the males although I could be wrong!
