The broom hare is a rare species of hare that lives only in the mountains in the north of Spain. It chooses places with dense broom bushes and other plants.
The broom hare differs from the common hare by its darker fur and attachment to broom bushes. It is important for the nature of the mountains of Spain as part of the food chain and a seed disperser of plants.
