I've often pondered it too, maybe an article should be forthcoming. Regarding the light, I shot a group of these guys for about 20 minutes, and it was dull overcast, very drab light. I could shoot from any angle, and get no shadows, etc, but I stayed on the sunny side, "just in case" .. sure enough, for about 10 sconds, the light popped out - I overexposed maybe 2 frames, corrected it, adn got another 2 before the light was flat again. I was lying flat on the ground, hand holding my camera/lens for this. Cheers Carl Hey Mark

I grew up in Australia, and we have an inordinate number of rabbits there - and adult rabbits will kill and even eat baby hares, when they find them. The hare in Australia aren't snowshoe hares, but closer to an American Jackrabbit. They don't dig burrows, but nest in the grass on the ground - so they're more susceptible to predation. Cheers Carl Hey MaryBeth

That's a cool picture. Great profile! I do know that hares are born with hair, & rabbits are born with no hair. It's wild about the color change in the coats , too. Kind of like arctic foxes.
