| Because the leverets are active at birth, elaborate nests are usually not built. |
| The leverets stay within the mother's home range until they are old enough to survive on their own. |
| They nest in shallow depressions in the tundra, and broods of two to eight leverets are born in late June and are fully grown by early September. |
| Young hares are called leverets in English until they are a year old. |
| Sometimes a brace of leverets are found in a tussocky grass clump, but these are more often allowed to remain than taken. |
| Orphaned leverets may be left to die a lingering death from starvation. |
