Der Leithase ist ein Weibchen, dem die Männchen enthusiastisch hinterherlaufen.
Sie rennt, um ihre Stärke zu testen. Schließlich wird sie sich mit dem Schnellsten und Stärksten paaren.
Es ist erstaunlich zu sehen, wie viel Energie die Hasen bei der Balz aufwenden, während viele Tiere unter diesen harten Bedingungen ums Überleben kämpfen. Sie mussten allerdings darauf zurückgreifen, Zweige und Rinde der Hecken zu fressen.

I just found you for the first time in the form of greetings cards in a shop near my home town of Lancaster in Lancashire. I was impressed by your work and its excellent standard….I’m now going to keep my eye on you and have become one of your ‘Followers’ and am also considering linking to you from my blog http://woodruff4.blogspot.com
love the hare sitting in the snow the most! perfect!
thanks for your dedication to the animals :)
Hares are wonderful animals, Robert, and I am fighting with others to stop the so-called ‘sport’ of hare coursing becoming legal again. Keep up your great work and thank you for the perfect pheasant Christmas cards.

You have done a fantastic job following the Hares in the snow, a picture I would love to get, but seeing up to 50!
Very well done.

This is a great series of posts. I never knew that hares were so gregarious and that their behavior was so interesting.
