Tortoise's rival in a fable (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hare

(Other definitions for hare that I've seen before include "Timid creature" , "who often got stiff?" , "Small rabbit-like mammal" , "Herbivore" , "'You can't run with the . . . . and hunt with the hounds'" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today and The New York Times.
