When are hares born? Where do hares live in the forest: typical habitats for the middle zone
Wool. In winter, the hare becomes much lighter, and the hare turns pure white(hence the beast’s nickname). Where they live lives in the forest. This is a forest hare. The hare can live in fields and steppes. So the answer to the question of where hares live is not entirely clear.
Belyak: daily routine and nutrition
During the day, the hare, as a rule, sleeps where he lives. The hare in the forest only comes out to feed at night. In winter it feeds mainly on bark various trees. The hare does this in a very original way, climbing hind legs, to reach the bark more gently, as if standing at attention. The white hare gnaws the branches of young aspens, birches, willow bark, willows and others deciduous trees. Very fond of young fruit plants.
In winter, the white hare can move quite easily through deep snow, since hair grows on its legs (even between its toes). It’s much easier to stay warm and stay on the snow. The leg becomes wider, and the hare runs as if on skis. By the way, when a hare jumps, it puts its hind legs forward, like a squirrel, leaving characteristic footprints in the snow.
In hiding
Lezhka is the name of the winter (and summer) den where a hare lives in the forest from time to time. You can get to the hidden place by following the tracks of the hare. But, most likely, this will be very difficult to do. Before lying down, the hare intensively confuses its tracks, loops and jumps from side to side (takes notes). And only after completely confusing everyone, the animal finally lies down in an oblong hole. In it the hare hides from all kinds of enemies, and he has plenty of them: wolves, foxes, owls, eagles, dogs, lynxes. Also - hunters and poachers of all ranks and stripes.
In a bed you can hide from the piercing autumn and winter wind. In a strong winter blizzard, a hare can be covered in snow, as they say, “up to its ears.” A vault of snow forms above it and ice crust. Then the hidden hare, coming into the light, has to dig out of the cache. So the question of where hares live can be answered this way: some of the time they lie down. There they hide from enemies and the wind.
Where do brown hares live?
These are field and steppe animals (for the most part), unlike white hare, which primarily live in the forest. Hares almost always sleep during the day and feed at night. They dig up the snow over winter crops and eat green sprouts. If the hare cannot for some reason (deep snow, ice, frost) get to the winter crops, he resorts to the gardens, where he eats the remaining stalks or unpicked carrots. It also gets picked up by eating dry grass. Willingly feasts on gardens and bark fruit trees- young apple trees. Rusaki cause great harm in this way national economy- fields, gardens and vegetable gardens. This is why the villagers dislike them.
Where do hares live in winter and summer?
These animals live alone or in pairs. Unlike their rabbit brothers, hares almost never dig holes. They build their nests in small, ready-made holes. The hare tribe is known for its fertility: the hare makes 3-4 litters per year (from March to September), each with 5-10 cubs. They are born with already with open eyes and wool, are quite independent, but some die from enemies in the very first months of their life. The fact is that the mother, having fed, runs away from the babies after two or three days. All this time they sit, hiding in the grass. A few days later, the hare comes running to feed them again. Interestingly, another female who has found the hares can also do this.
What helps the hare?
Fleeing from enemies, of which the hare has plenty, the animal can run up to 70 kilometers a day, making wide circles and meandering through a forest or field. These tracks are sometimes difficult for even a skilled hunter to untangle. So what saves the hare is its main defense - the ability to run quickly. And the corresponding color of the skin also comes in handy for the hare in winter. The hare, fleeing from pursuit, can sometimes stop, as if listening and trying to see the enemy. But the hare has only well-developed hearing, and vision and smell - not very well. So, to motionless standing man the hare can come quite close, which is what experienced hunters take advantage of.
Bed or hole?
The bed, especially if the hare is not particularly disturbed, can be used by it many times as a place for temporary shelter. But most often the hare is looking for new places. But in winter, it digs holes in the snow up to one and a half meters deep, in which it spends most of its time, going out only in search of food or in case of danger.
Interestingly, the white hare only compacts the snow without throwing it out. Hares living in the tundra winter time They dig holes up to eight meters long, using them as permanent shelters. When danger arises, tundra whites do not leave the hole, but hide inside and wait. And in summer time Empty earthen passages of marmots and arctic foxes are used as shelters. Where do hares live? In holes left by other animals. It's spacious and there's enough room for long-eared people.
All representatives of this family are quite similar to each other: they all have more or less long ears, short tail, and the hind legs are significantly longer than the front ones. When running, the hare carries its long hind legs far forward, so that their prints are always ahead of those of its front paws.
The hares use some features of their organization seemingly for other purposes, but nevertheless very successfully. So, hares have poorly developed skin glands, which is also good for camouflage. But because of this, the animals cannot sweat normally and easily overheat. And the ears come to the rescue: they are permeated with a thick network blood vessels and the blood running through them quickly cools.
Hares and rabbits feed on low-calorie food, which usually does not attract other rodents - mainly bark, young branches, leaves, and grass. An interesting tendency of hares is towards coprophagy - eating their own excrement in order to extract from it the remains of undigested food. This is especially significant in winter with a general shortage plant feed. The fact is that a specialized bacterial complex that breaks down fiber into digestive tract in herbivorous mammals, in hares it is concentrated in the rectum. Therefore, the excrement excreted by hares is rich in protein feed and amino acids. It is difficult to say why nature ordered it this way, but the fact remains: coprophagy enriches their diet with nutrients.
Regularly visiting gardens in winter, hares are able to sand the trunks and lower branches so much that the trees may die. To protect against such a scourge, the trunks are coated with lime and wrapped in spruce branches or roofing felt to protect them from the sharp teeth of a hare.
Hunters have the term “firm lying”: the hare “firmly” (that is, for a long time) lies in place, even when it sees a suitable enemy. Maybe he hopes that the enemy will turn aside and take a different path. However, the hare may not be thinking about anything at this time, but he clearly demonstrates the strength of his nerves. And only as a last resort does he jump up and run away. Some hares can reach speeds of up to 50 kilometers per hour. It is curious that due to the long hind legs It is easier for hares to run uphill than downhill; a hare simply rolls head over heels downhill.
The hare not only runs away from predators - he is also cunning: he runs some distance ahead and, if the pursuer is far away, returns in his tracks, “doubles”, or even “builds” them, or jumps to the side - makes "smartness". A dog, wolf or fox following the trail of a hare gets confused and cannot understand where he ran - forward or backward. Meanwhile, the hare is once again cunning: he will once again make a big leap to the side - and that’s how it was. By the time the predator investigates, the hare will already be far away.
If the pursuer is close and it is impossible to deceive him and one must rely only on dexterity and speed, the hare chooses the best one from several options, if any. He can jump onto a hill or jump into a river, run along the road or, conversely, disappear into the bushes. And the chosen option will always be the most correct.
But it happens that neither cunning nor speed helps the hare. Then the last, emergency version of defense comes into force: the hare falls on its back and defends itself with its strong hind legs. This is of course extreme case, and the hare does not always emerge victorious from such a fight. But it happens, he fights off birds of prey and even maims them.
Hares also have other methods of protection. In particular, very weak skin and fragile wool. If a predator grabs a hare by the skin, the scythe may escape. True, in doing so, he will leave a tuft of fur or even a piece of skin for the predator, but this is not a problem, especially when it comes to saving a life.
It’s hard for hares to live: there are so many lovers of hare meat that no one could save them. fast feet, neither disguise nor cunning. And perhaps the hare tribe would disappear from our planet, but their fertility helps the hares out. Snowshoe hares, living where there is more warm climate, bring 2-5 rabbits 4-5 times a year. In cold or temperate climate They have 2-3 litters a year. And in each there are 7-8 bunnies. In the European part of Russia, white hares usually give birth three times: in March-April, “nastovichkas” are born (at this time there is still snow, which at night becomes covered with a hard crust - nast). The hare's second litter is in June - at this time the rye is earing and the buckwheat is blooming. And the bunnies are called "spikelets" or "buckwheat". And for the third time the hare brings “leaf-fallers” - they are born in August.
Available different versions regarding the parental care of the hare. Some scientists believe that the hare is a good mother, she stays close to the bunnies, does not let them go far from her, teaches them worldly wisdom (what to eat, who to be afraid of), and in case of danger, pretends to be sick or injured and leads the predator away from the bunnies. Brown mothers are especially caring mothers: they make burrows for their babies and feed them milk for 3-4 weeks. But there is another opinion. Many scientists claim that female hares do not care about their offspring - they leave the newborns somewhere under a bush or in thick grass, and they themselves run away. The bunny is provided with food for some time: the hare will feed him and leave in the bunny’s stomach a supply of very fatty milk, amounting to almost half the weight of the entire bunny. After some time, the mother will return and feed the little hare again, or another feeding hare who happens to be nearby will feed him. This behavior is explained by the fact that newborn rabbits do not emit any odor: the sweat glands of hares are located only on the soles. A little hare, if it sits motionless, and even with its paws tucked, will not be sensed by a predator, even if it is very close. But the tracks of an adult hare can lead a predator to a helpless hare that is not yet able to escape. Of course, there is logic in this explanation. But how true this is is still an open question. Scientists have not yet come to a consensus. Some believe that the hare abandons her cubs, others are convinced that she feeds them for a while without running far. There is a version that the male protects the hares: he supposedly remains close to the babies all the time and, in case of danger, distracts the enemy. It is possible that the truth lies somewhere in the middle: the situation or circumstances determine the strategy of the hares. Or maybe different types in this situation they behave differently. But one thing is certain: rabbits are born already fully developed, sighted, and fully formed. They grow quickly, after a few days they are already moving well and starting to eat grass.
There are four species of hare living in our country. Least common - Manchurian. He belongs to the so-called wire-haired hares. These also include the Japanese tree climber, the Sumatran striped and bristly, living in India and Nepal, and the Burmese, living in Indochina. The Manchurian hare lives in deciduous forests Primorye. Coniferous forests he avoids, there is not enough undergrowth or bushes, and bushes are his main place of residence. For this, the hare received its second name - bush hare. The fur of the Manchurian hare is hard and not very warm, so the animal builds nests in which it spends a lot of time, especially in winter, and is very reluctant to leave the nest - it does this only in case of emergency. The ears of the Manchurian hare are relatively short, and the hind legs are also not as long as those of other hares.
Tolay, or sandstone, differs from other hares in its slenderness, long legs, a kind of grace, and also in that it is more adapted to life in the most different conditions- can live in deserts and mountains (in the Pamirs and Tien Shan it is found at an altitude of 3 thousand meters), in meadows and in reed thickets near the water.
The most common and most famous hares are white hare And Russians. In many ways they are very similar. So similar that things happen between them mixed marriages, and the offspring from these marriages are called cuffs. There are also differences. Mermaids are larger: they can reach a length of 70 centimeters and weigh 7.5 kilograms. White whites weigh no more than 6 kilograms.
The brown hare is mainly a resident of open spaces. If it is found in forests, it is in sparse ones, and even there it usually lives on the edges or clearings. He moved much further south than the white hare.
The hare's paws are larger and the feet, especially in winter, are much wider due to the thick fur on them. Thanks to this wool, it is easier for the hare to run in the snow: he runs like on snowshoes and does not fall through.
The hare lives in areas where the snow is usually less deep and not so loose. Therefore, he does not need snowshoes. But the hare's jump is wider.
One of the main differences between the hare and the hare is the change in color with the seasons. In summer, however, it is quite difficult to distinguish these hares. But in winter, even from a distance you can tell who is a hare and who is a hare. By winter, whites change into light or more thick fur coat, in summer their skin turns brown or brownish-gray. The hare wears the same color of skin both in winter and in summer. Only in the territory of Bashkortostan, Tatarstan and in nearby areas do hares live, which become much lighter in color in winter. But this is an exception. There are exceptions among white hare: in places where snow lies almost constantly, for example in Greenland, they remain white in the summer.Neither the hare nor the hare have a permanent den. Only in winter severe frosts Whites make small burrows in the snow. In the taiga, however, white hares make deep holes - up to 8 meters - and use them as permanent shelters: they sleep in them, hide in danger. But this is not typical for hares. Usually they lie down for the day in any suitable place, somewhere under a tree, in the bushes. In winter - just in the snow. Hares constantly carry a warm and soft feather bed with them - they have thick fur on their belly - thicker than in other places - wool. The hare also sleeps wherever he can, makes shelters for himself in which he spends the hottest hours, only in the south, and only in the summer.
Browns and hare are sedentary animals. Constantly running through the forest or fields, they nevertheless graze on certain territories. Sometimes hares go to feed far from the place where they spent the daytime hours, but this is not a migration, but so-called daily transitions, constant and regular - in the taiga, hares even trample entire paths in the moss along which they make such transitions. But it also happens differently. If the number of hares in one place increases greatly and due to deep snow covering low bushes, unfavorable conditions to live, some of these animals immigrate to new places. Then the hares walk in small herds of 30-40 heads, and nothing stops them: neither rivers, nor human settlements. Many die during these trips. The hares stubbornly continue to move forward, as if they understand that they have no other choice - certain death awaits them all in the same place. If not from hunger, then from diseases, to which the hare tribe is very susceptible.
Sometimes hares are forced to move after heavy snowfalls. Often such migrations are seasonal - in winter, for example, hares move from the tundra to the taiga and return back in the spring. In Kamchatka, a procession of hares was observed, apparently due to another reason: herds of hares, closed in columns, walked towards the ocean in order, as experts believe, to satisfy their mineral hunger with algae, which the waves throw ashore.

Did you know that hares live everywhere in nature? You won't find them only in Antarctica and Australia. In total, there are about 30 species, but in Russia only the stomping hare, Manchurian, hare and brown hare are common. Two the latter type- the most famous hares in the nature of our country.
What does a hare look like?
White hare large mammal an animal reaching a length of 74 cm, weight - up to 5 kg. Characteristic features are long ears, short fluffy tail. The paws are wide, the hind legs are much longer than the front ones. Thanks to this, the hare runs fast and jumps very well.
But it’s easy for him to run up the hill, but difficult to go down - long paws interfere. And he has to roll head over heels down the mountain.
In winter, the coat is thick, pure white, only the very tufts of the ears are colored black. They shed in spring and autumn, in summer the color of the fur coat is camouflage - gray casts brown-red shades.
The brown hare is very similar in appearance to the hare, only its body weight can reach 7 kg. Its ears and tail are much longer than those of its brother. The summer color is almost the same as that of the hare; in winter it only becomes a little lighter.
They also differ in their habitat. The hare prefers open spaces, and the hare likes forest thickets, although in the spring it also feeds on the first grass in meadows and fields.
Why is the hare called oblique?
If you look at the hare directly, his eyes are large, velvety dark in color and not at all slanted. They are simply located a little closer to the sides of the head.
In addition, the neck muscles are inactive and he cannot turn it. And when a hare runs very fast, he has to squint his eyes to see his pursuers.
Do hares dig holes?
The hare does not have his own house. In winter he spends the night in deep snow. The fur coat is so warm that he is not afraid of any frost, and on a white snow tablecloth it is difficult for both the hunter and the fox to notice him.
In summer he sleeps in any hole under a bush or hides under the roots big tree, torn out by a storm, and runs all day, looking for food.
Also, under a bush in a small hole, a hare gives birth to cubs. Hares are very fertile, the offspring can be up to 11 hares, and this happens 2-3 times a year. Parents do not care for the bunnies. Males in mating season They fight fiercely, beat each other with their front paws, and having achieved the female’s favor, they disappear.
The hare herself also stays with the newborns for only 4–5 days, then runs away in search of food. From birth, rabbits are covered with fur, move well, but prefer to sit quietly in their hole.
The mother comes running to them only sometimes, and a completely alien hare can also come running. They feed them rich, nutritious milk and run away again.
In the summer, adult hares feed on juicy fresh herbs and sweet roots; they climb and feast on vegetables in gardens. Despite all their caution, if they are not driven, they can do it systematically and unceremoniously, losing all fear.
In winter they chew the bark different trees, often aspen. In orchards, the bark of young apple trees is damaged, and haystacks are found that people put there for their pets. They shovel snow in the fields and eat winter wheat.
The animals are defenseless against many predators. Eagles, hawks, owls, foxes - everyone is not averse to eating hare. People hunt hares for their fluffy skin and eat the meat.
Only fast legs save the hare - it can reach speeds of up to 80 km/h. Fleeing from its pursuers, the hare meanders, confuses its tracks, and follows them twice and three times. At the same time he makes leaps to the side. And the dog or fox gets lost, the prey runs forward or backward. It knows how to hide well in any place, and in high water it easily jumps from ice floe to ice floe.
A hare is an animal that belongs to the class Mammals, order Lagomorpha, family Lagoraceae, genus Hares (lat. Lepus). Contrary to popular belief, they are not rodents and are far from harmless. In case of danger, they show aggressiveness and resist the attacker. Since ancient times, the hare has been a desirable trophy for hunters because of its delicious meat and warm fur.
Hare - description, characteristics, appearance. What does a hare look like?
hare body slender, slightly compressed from the sides, its length in some species reaches 68-70 cm. The weight of a hare can exceed 7 kg. Characteristic feature lagomorphs are wedge-shaped ears, reaching a length of 9 to 15 cm. Thanks to the ears, the hare’s hearing is much better developed than the sense of smell and vision. The hind limbs of these mammals have long feet and are more developed than the forelimbs. When a threat arises, the hare's speed can reach 80 km/h. And the ability to suddenly change the direction of running and jump sharply to the side allows these animals to get rid of the pursuit of enemies:, etc. Hares run well up slopes, but they have to go downhill head over heels.
Hare color depends on the season. In summer, the animal's fur is reddish-gray, brown or brown tint. Due to the dark color of the undercoat, the color is uneven with large and small “speckles”. The fur on the belly is white. Hares change color in winter, their fur becomes lighter, but only the mountain hare becomes completely snow-white. The tips of the ears of all representatives of the genus remain black all year round.
How long does a hare live?
The average lifespan of males does not exceed 5 years, females - 9 years, however, there are recorded cases of a longer lifespan of a hare - about 12-14 years.
Types of hares, names and photos.
The genus of hares is diverse and includes 10 subgenera, divided into several species. Below are several types of hares:
Hare– hare (lat. Lepus timidus)
The most common representative of the genus of hares, living almost throughout the entire territory of Russia, in Northern Europe, Ireland, Mongolia, South America and in many other countries of the world. This species of hares is distinguished by characteristic seasonal dimorphism - in areas with stable snow cover, the fur color becomes pure white, with the exception of the tips of the ears. In summer the hare is gray.
Brown hare(lat. Lepus europaeus)
A large species of hares, some individuals of which grow up to 68 cm in length and weigh up to 7 kg. The hare's fur is shiny, silky, with a characteristic waviness, in different shades brown, there are white rings around the eyes. The hare's habitat covers European forest-steppes, Turkey, Iran, the north African continent and Kazakhstan.
Antelope hare(lat. Lepus alleni)
Representatives of the species are distinguished by very large and long ears, growing up to 20 cm. The auricles are designed in such a way that they allow the animal to regulate heat exchange when too high temperature habitats. The antelope hare lives in the state of Arizona in the USA and 4 Mexican states.
Chinese hare(lat. Lepus sinensis)
The species is characterized by small sizes body (up to 45 cm) and weight up to 2 kg. The color of the short, coarse fur consists of many shades of brown: from chestnut to brick. A characteristic black triangular pattern stands out at the tips of the ears. This type Hares are found in the hilly areas of China, Vietnam and Taiwan.
Tolai hare(lat. Lepus tolai)
The medium-sized individuals resemble the hare in appearance, but are distinguished by longer ears and legs, as well as the absence of curled fur. This hare is a typical representative of deserts and semi-deserts, lives in Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, China, Mongolia and in the Russian steppes - from Altai Territory to the south of the Astrakhan region.
Yellowish hare(lat. Lepus flavigularis)
The only population of yellowish hares inhabits the meadows and coastal dunes of the Mexican Gulf of Tehuantepec, hence its second name - the Tehuantepec hare. Large individuals, up to 60 cm long and weighing 3.5-4 kg, are difficult to confuse with other types of hares due to two black stripes running from the ears to the back of the head and along the white sides.
Broom hare(lat. Lepus castroviejoi)
The habitat of this species of hares is limited to the scrubby heaths of the northwestern Cantabrian Mountains of Spain. In appearance and habits there is a similarity with the brown hare. Due to extermination, predation and violation natural ecosystem, the species is on the verge of extinction and is listed in the Red Book of Spain.
Black-tailed(California) hare (lat. Lepus californicus)
The species is characterized by long ears, powerful hind limbs, a dark stripe running along the back, and a black tail. It is considered the most common species of hares in Mexico and the United States.
Manchurian hare(lat. Lepus mandshuricus)
Small representatives of this species of hares grow up to 55 cm and weigh no more than 2.5 kg. The ears, tail and hind legs are quite short, due to which there is a clear resemblance to wild rabbit. The fur is hard and short, brown in color with black ripples. Typical representative deciduous forests and shrub plains can be found on Far East, in Primorye, as well as in Northeast China and Korea.
Curly-haired hare (Tibetan curly-haired hare)(lat. Lepus oiostolus)
The species is distinguished by its small size (40 – 58 cm) and weight of just over 2 kg. Characteristic feature yellowish wavy fur on the back is considered. It lives in India, Nepal and China, including the mountain steppes of the Tibetan Plateau, from where it received its second name - the Tibetan curly hare.
