Caption
Mountain hare (Lepus timidus) in winter coat, running across snow, Cairngorms NP, Scotland, January 2010. Photographer quote: "After 4 hours of trudging through deep snow I was completely exhausted and slumped down to rest. Just at that moment a hare appeared over the hill running at full tilt and I was cursing my numb fingers as I tried to follow it with my camera. I got just one shot before it disappeared." Did you know? Mountain hares survive blizzards of over 100 mph in the mountains of the Scottish Highlands.
