Posts: 262. Thanks to the picture in this thread, I was able to determine that my water heater will run on both electric and gas. I was convinced it ran on gas only. The manual says nothing about running on electricity, and the switch is small and very hard to see.
Baby hares, on the other hand, are called leverets. Unlike baby rabbits, baby hares are born with their eyes open, with fur on the body, and are able to move around freely on their own, enabling them to forage and fend for themselves shortly after being born. A lesser known fact is that in ancient times rabbits where in fact called coneys. An adult rabbit was known as a coney, and a baby coney (baby rabbit) was called a rabbit! So, if you want to know what baby rabbits are called, it depends what century you are looking at.
The idea of an egg-giving hare came to the U.S. in the 18th century. Protestant German immigrants in the Pennsylvania Dutch area told their children about the  Osterhase  (sometimes spelled  Oschter Haws ). Hase means hare, not rabbit, and in Northwest European folklore the Easter Bunny indeed is a hare.he Easter Bunny is sometimes depicted with clothes. In legend, the creature carries colored eggs in his basket, candy, and sometimes also toys to the homes of children, and as such shows similarities to Santa Claus or the Christkind, as they both bring gifts to children on the night before their respective holidays.
