[edit] Hares?

Do hares really squeak? I thought they were mute! At least pet rabbits are, I wouldn't know, do wild hares make noises?--Mithcoriel 20:48, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] English

-I don't think the page is quite explicit enough in clarifying that this is only in reference to English. Each language has different concepts. Maybe it's obviously English, but we don't want to claim that it is universal. Kabosha 10:27, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

And there is the possibility that the same animal makes "different" sounds in other English-speaking countries. I'm about to add the {{globalize}} tag. Delta Tango • Talk 03:16, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
