The jarring image of a snow-white hare in a brown landscape could be a sign that all is not well in Canada’s boreal forest.
The result is that an already highly preyed-upon animal is left acutely exposed and more vulnerable to its predators, which primarily include the lynx, but also coyotes, great horned owls and goshawks. The hare, despite its unfashionably out-of-season coats, is not nearing endangered status, but the phenomenon is a fascinating example of the intricate ways climate change disrupts ecological processes.
At the same time, Boonstra doesn’t believe the hare will become extinct. Its habitat is enormous, spanning the Rockies, the Cordillera region and northern U.S. states like Montana and Pennsylvania, and as their ideal habitat moves north, so will they.
Another new low. You're getting more and more rediculous. I bet the context of the picture doesn't match the story.
Working hard for your gub'mint media subsidy crumbs?
Does the author of this article have any idea how inconsistent the colour change of the hare has always been Never perfectly matched with the change to Winter or Spring.
