Hopping home in time for the holiday!
A couple of weeks ago, this snowshoe hare was found on the roadside suffering from minor head trauma after being hit by car. Yesterday she was released back home and we just managed to get this photo as she was bounding away. We don’t have wild rabbits in Nova Scotia, but we can cheat a bit and consider her our Easter Bunny.
Snowshoe hares change their coats from brown to white in the winter, and then back again to brown in the spring. This gives them seasonal camouflage, which as you can see actually works very well for them!
