Hares are characters of the Masha and the Bear series.
Description[]
In the forest there live many hares. Very often hares appear along with hedgehogs and squirrels. One of them is best known. Masha calls him Bunny (rus. Зайка).
Bunny[]
The Bunny is curious, but gutless and weak-willed — he often thoughtlessly follows the lead of Masha or obeys a brute force. In rare moments, he can show bravery, and sometimes he gets angry (if someone interferes with his affairs or rudely invades his personal space).
The Bunny is one of the few characters with a clear story line. In the episode 12. No Trespassing!, the Bunny along with the Bear planted carrots in the Bear's garden, but their goals were different. Bear wanted to get a record-sized crop, but Bunny just wanted to eat, so when the carrots grew a little, they quarreled, and then Bunny began to regularly visit the vegetable garden of the Bear and steal the carrots. A little later (in the ep. 17. Recipe For Disaster), not wanting to play with Masha in "hockey" (on the grass, but with the sticks and the puck), in punishment for another stealing carrots, Bear forced Bunny to play by putting him at the gate instead of himself; since then Masha and the Bunny often play together.
The Bunny lives inside a tree, where he has his own small room. There are a lot of books, a closet, a table, a couple of chairs and a few pictures depicting hares.
The Bunny likes to stack pyramids of carrots such as card houses. It's his hobby. Sometimes he grows his own carrots. As a child he was very energetic and disobedient, because of what he got in trouble, for which he was often punished by his mother.

- 12. No Trespassing! This is the first episode in which the Bunny definitely appears. He and the Bear plant carrots together, but they have different goals and therefore quarrel, after which Bunny starts stealing the carrots. Despairing to independently protect crops, the Bear turns to Masha, however, seeing that her attempts to catch the thief, albeit successful, but leave behind mayhem, decides to make a security system by using the image of Masha, which scares the Bunny very much on the next try of stealing, forcing him to flee.
- 13. Hide and seek is not for the Weak. The Bunny came to steal carrots, but got caught by the Bear and burst into tears.
