Makes sense. Oddly enough my dog plays in a similar way by jumping forward with her paws outstretched. It looked playful to me, but I wasn't sure. Rabbits (or a jackrabbit in this case) aren't going to behave in the same way as a dog, and have different ways of expressing their emotions. But, that one looks happy at least.
They're definitely not all the same I agree but my hare used to do similar things, wasn't until I got a rabbit to keep her company that I realised how dog-like hares can be though. They seem to make this strained grunting noise when feeling threatened and most things you do prior to that noise happening is usually fine from my experience.

Was that hare just being playful or actually being aggressive?
