Hare

This rather "obese" hare (or should I say "well fed for winter"?) was comfortably rummaging through the garden this morning. Mostly out of clear sight in the shrubs, but on occasion coming a bit closer. Image taken through the window ...

    The way I can figure it, the more fluff (or plump), the better the odds are that the bunny will survive the winter. So, a big bunny is a well-prepared, smart bunny. Posted 4 years ago

      Yup, hence the "well fed for winter" amendment to the "obese" ;o) Posted 4 years ago

The European hare

The European hare, also known as the brown hare, eastern jackrabbit and eastern prairie hare, is a species of hare native to northern, central, and western Europe and western Asia. It is a mammal adapted to temperate, open country. It is related to the similarly appearing rabbit, which is in the same family but a different genus. It breeds on the ground rather than in a burrow and relies on speed to escape.
