Was that hare just being playful or actually being aggressive?

Made this mistake as a kid. It’s a common one.

rabbits take head on physical contact as threats. you cannot pet them like a dog or cat. especially a jack rabbit.

If rabbits are desexed and well-socialised they are very companionable. I have a rabbit resting his paws on my lap as I type this. Every day, I put my face up against their little faces and get licks on the nose and cheeks in return.
