We have a wild hare (Lepus europaeus) in our garden!

August 31st, 2005 Leave a comment Go to comments

This cute little teenage hare runs around in our garden all the time. Or rather, he just sits there eating grass from our lawn. He stops by every day, and is not easily spooked at all. Yesterday I threw some bread at him, and even though I hit him he didn’t move a bit! It just lay there pretending that we could not see him.

There is another picture to be seen here.

    Dear Sir or madam

    the hare on the picture is the (common) hare, Lepus europaeus, and not the mountain hare, Lepus timidus.

    Itis a beautiful picture and animal anyway!

    Best wishes

    Hello Peter!

    I guess you are very right about the hare in question being the common variant, not the mountain one. I actually did not know it was two different kinds.. *ashamed*.

    Thanks for your comment :)
