This increased protection will help ensure healthy populations of mountain hares can be found and enjoyed in the mountains, while giving some recourse when there is a need to prevent damage being caused to saplings or sensitive habitats. We are also working with several partner organisations to continue to improve our understanding of mountain hare populations across Scotland, along with other work to support their conservation status.”

European brown hares are quite solitary by nature, and don’t get much enjoyment in the company of their species. After the frenzy of courtship, hares disperse to their more usual ways. This is where the phrase ‘mad as a march hare’ comes from - it’s so different from their usual behaviour.

How are Mountain Hares adapted to their environment?

In the Faroe Islands, mountain hares turn grey in the winter instead of white. The winter-grey colour may be caused by downregulation of the agouti hair cycle isoform in the autumn moult. [11] Behaviour [ edit ] "Mountain, Irish Hare" illustration from "British Mammals" by A. Thorburn, 1920 Skeleton Protecting Scotland’s wild animals in their natural environment is a key priority for this Scottish Government. Mountain hares are an iconic Scottish species and it is right that we protect them. I start at the bottom and work up. Some people prefer to start at the top and work down. It's all a personal preference. They are a quarry species that have long been shot for sport and are also legitimately controlled for other reasons, including to protect plants and crops. In August 2016, the Scottish animal welfare charity OneKind launched a campaign on behalf of the mountain hare, as a way of raising awareness of mountain hare culls taking place across the country and in garnering public support for the issue. Mountain hares are routinely shot in the Scottish Highlands both as part of paid hunting "tours" and by gamekeepers managing red grouse populations (who believe that mountain hares can be vectors of diseases that affect the birds). Much of this activity is secretive, [13] but investigations have revealed that tens of thousands of hares are being culled every year. [14] The campaign, which urges people to proclaim, "We Care For The Mountain Hare", will culminate with the charity urging the Scottish government to legislate against commercial hunting and culling of the iconic Scottish species. The campaign has revealed widespread public support for a ban on hare hunting in Scotland. On May 17, 2020, MSPs voted to ban the unlicensed culling of mountain hares and grant them protected species status within Scotland after a petition started by Green MSP Alison Johnstone gathered over 22,000 signatures. [15]

The diet of the mountain hare varies from region to region. It seems to be somewhat dependent on the particular habitat in which the population under study lives. For example, in northern Scandinavia, where snow may blanket the ground for many months, the hares may feed on twigs and bark. In areas where snowfall is rare, such as Ireland, grass may form the bulk of the diet. Given a choice, mountain hares in Scotland and Ireland seem to prefer grazing (feeding on grasses). For mountain hares on a coastal grassland environment in Ireland, grasses constituted over 90% of their diet. This was higher than the percentage of grass in the diet of the European rabbit ( Oryctolagus cuniculus) that inhabited the same environment. The mountain hare is regionally the favourite prey of the golden eagle and may additionally be preyed on by Eurasian eagle-owls and red foxes. Stoats may prey on young hares. [10] A group of hares is called a drove. However due to their somewhat solitary nature, you’re only likely to see this in breeding season. Not only is henna all natural, it is good for your hair. It seals in oils and tightens the cuticle. Here I will show you how to color your hair with henna.Hare, Simon (31 January 2021). "Peak District's last surviving mountain hares 'at risk' ". BBC News . Retrieved 31 January 2021. Many observers have noted that hares appear to enjoy loud noises. They gather in groups and “party” during thunderstorms. They also appear to enjoy being near to jet aircraft on runways. No one knows why! During the Late Pleistocene to Early Holocene, populations of mountain hare in Russia grew at least 10% larger than any living population today. This population has been classified as a distinct species Lepus tanaiticus, but is now generally considered a prehistoric morphotype of the living mountain hare. [4] Distribution [ edit ] I usually henna every 6 weeks or so. I've even gone 8 weeks in between. It's a time consuming process, and sometimes I am just unmotivated to do it. I use metal barrettes, which is a no-no. (Do as I say, not as I do.) The metal actually can react with the henna, but I am very careful to not let it touch. I remove the barrettes as I put the henna on.
