Shareholders quick to move? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hares

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'shareholders' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hares that I've seen before include "Share of wild animals" , "Swift long-eared mammals" , "Fleet-footed animals" , "Fast animals" , "Long-eared animals" .)
