Hares And Cougars

Two Arctic hares are at the heart of this diorama. 


An opossum is found here.


The last diorama features a female and two cubs: the cougar. We'll take a closer look tomorrow.

    The arctic hares are particularly beautiful. Some of our mountain hares change to white in the winter, though we have so little snow these days that it can't be a very useful adaptation nowadays.

    Those hares are on the lunch menu for so many other creatures.

    @Italiafinlandia: that they are.

    @John: it can be quite useful here.

    @David: that is true.

    @Iris: these do.

    @Grace: I agree.

    @Tom: yes, but in this case these two species will never meet.

    @Jan: yes, in the Rockies.

    The dioramas with the hares and the cougars are quite well done.

    I didn't realize how large the Arctic hare is until I saw one... about twice a large as our jack rabbit.

    Apparently PEI only has hares, not rabbits., unless tame ones escape.

    The Arctic hares are wonderful, and a perfect colour.

    All the best Jan

    Like the Arctic hares, how well their white fur blends in with the snow.

    We have bobcats back in Ohio. Not nearly so impressive as cougars, though.

    I have only ever seen one white hare in the wild and that was one snowy winter in the highlands of Scotland.

    The hares are beautiful. I have a possum in my yard now and then. I wonder if the cougars are looking for the hares?
