WATCH: Hare swims across lake, viral video leaves viewers amazed

A video of a hare swimming across a lake has gone viral on social media.

Hares are classified in the same family as rabbits, and are fast-running, long-eared mammals.

Indian Forest Service officer Susanta Nanda tweeted a short clip showing a hare swimming across a lake before it hopped onto the grasslands and escaped into the forest.

“If you haven’t seen a hare swimming. Same as they run,” Susanta Nanda wrote on Twitter.
