I don't think there is another animal with the Hare, just a trick of the light.
Could it be another rabbit/hare, with it's ears down and back….there's a little white flash to the tip of the one at the seven/eight o'clock position from the 'eye'.

Is it possible there is Myxomatosis in that area? I've seen Bunnies in the final stages of Myxy that could have won a starring part in 'The Elephant Man' film, with their grotesquely swollen heads and bulging eyes. That would account for him apparently coming from the Bunny hole.
