European hare defense |
Elephant seal defense |
Hares protect themselves in their forms by lying as still as a statue, tucked in close to the ground with their ears pressed flat along their backs. A hare will not move until the last minute before it is discovered, as its best defense lies in stillness and camouflage.
Where the European hare lives |
Elephant seals do not have many predators that dare to attack them to begin with. In the ocean, killer whale and White Shark will attack them. They do not have any defense against those predators.
Where the Elephant seal lives |
European hares prefer open fields and pastures bordered by hedgerows and woodlots, often around agriculture fields and crops. They live in shallow forms clumps of grass, and weeds.

Sandy or gravel beaches, far from human activity, are the preferred breeding sites of the northern elephant seal. When feeding at sea, males tend to be found over continental shelves whereas females inhabit deeper open water.
