fotografr Posted June 5, 2014 Share #2 Posted June 5, 2014 Looks like a baby kangaroo with somewhat larger ears. Nice images in beautiful morning light. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted June 6, 2014 Share #3 Posted June 6, 2014 Stuart, A great pair, long ears and all. He would not make a good domesticated pet though. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
platypus Posted June 6, 2014 Share #4 Posted June 6, 2014 Beautiful shots! What a nice animal. I guess he is actually a hare and so more closely related to deer than to rabbits.We have the charming brown hare over here (ex England but well adapted) looking at your photos there is no way they can compete with jackrabbits in the ear department.

Iduna Posted June 6, 2014 Share #5 Posted June 6, 2014 Stuart, these long ears are great, the hare is being kept up-to-date permanently. One can see this very well in the wonderful first picture. Good lighting and a very appealing sight. Here in our region the hare is a symbol of spring, fertility and love. This can be seen in artefacts in some clerical buildings like monasteries and churches. It is very interesting that old local myths are being integrated by the church.

You can often find symbols of polytheism and animism in the structure of churchs, often as sly symbols by the converted.

Northwest Wanderer Posted June 6, 2014 Share #7 Posted June 6, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Stuart, very good images of the jackrabbit. Those long ears are a natural cooling system for the hot climate they live in. Nature is amazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andkeen Posted June 7, 2014 Share #9 Posted June 7, 2014 Lovely. The hare is all an all too rare creature here sadly, so lovely to see him captured in the early morning light. Kind regards Andrew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildlightphoto Posted June 8, 2014 Share #11 Posted June 8, 2014 Very nice pay go photos. but… Beautiful shots! What a nice animal. I guess he is actually a hare and so more closely related to deer than to rabbits. Yes it's a hare but it much more closely related to rabbits than to deer. Hares and rabbits are in the order Lagomorpha, deer are in the order Artiodactyla. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
