  • A quick wee film to show you the leverets visiting my garden this spring, being fed by their mum. Such a privilege to see something as intimate as this, and I still can't really believe this happened for five consecutive nights! Certainly made lockdown easier to bear :)
    PS - It's supposed to be a silent film but I forgot to take the sound off a couple of the clips, so mind you have the sound turned down otherwise you'll get loud hissing for a few seconds ;-)
    You can read more about the encounter here: www.pressandjo...

      They are a true symbol of persistence to survive. Hares are surrounded by danger, but pursue against death

      The meat is also like a combination between bunny and deer as well. Bunnies and hares are very different even just in the muscle.

    in the wild, the leverets are usually hidden somewhere, mom has to go out and get food and usually just returns at night, feeding the leverets. that is why she does not stay, I guess its instincts. It is dangerous if she stays too long as she could draw predators to her young. in principle, she would be perfectly safe in your little yard and her leverets too I guess, but she does not know that and just follows her routines.

    Hares are precocial, meaning leverets are generally independent and fully developed by the time they're born. Rabbits, on the other hand, are altricial, meaning the kits are born blind and helpless.

    Hares can get pregnant even though they already are pregnant, even late in her pregnancy.
    The new embryos simply 'wait outside', until their slightly older siblings-to-be, are born. Then they 'move in', so to speak.
