The flared hare, which was discovered in a field of flame-flowers, is a mysterious animal. Despite it being found about 15 years ago, we still know as little as we did then.

The flared hare lives in deep burrows, forged by the power of its flames. The majority of these live in flame-flowers and their homes are low beneath the glistening blades of ruby (the grass that flame-flowers flourish and flower in). The majority of these hares can run up 65 miles an hour. Intersestingly, they have extremely good smell receptors; they can smell up to 10,000 times better than humans! This means it is easier to hunt. The flared hare eats insects like stone beetles, but their staple diet consists of firetables  (especially fire carrots) and dried ruby blades. It is mainly hunted by the water serpent.

The flared hare is known to have ears of flame that dance delicately and disguise theselves with the firey ferns. It has a fuzzy, smoky-grey coat and feet of smoke that make it appear floating of ash-like clouds. Even though it flares in a blaze of of fire, it is quite gentle and doesn’t harm people. Its puffy tail billows behind it with tantalising effect. However, cute as it may be, when touching it, be careful!
