The Snowshoe Hare is a small North American mammal. It is an adoptable animal in Wildlife Park 3.
Description[]
The snowshoe hare is a member of the Lagomorph family alongside other rabbits and hares. Reaching a body length of up to 51.8cm and weighing up to 1.55kg, the snowshoe hare is named after its large back feet. These feet, which can reach up to 14.7cm in length, are adapted for walking and running across snow. Like the closely related Snow Hare, the snowshoe hare has brown fur during the summer, which turns white in winter.
The snowshoe hare is found across Canada and Alaska, with populations also being found in the northern United States. Although shy and nocturnal, they are active all year round, eating a variety of plants in the boreal forests they are found in. The snowshoe hare is rarely found out in the open, requiring dense cover to keep warm, raise their young (leverets) and hide from predators. Its most notable predator is the Canadian Lynx, with studies showing that as the population of hares in a region declines, so too does the lynx population.
