They bear the typical characteristics of alpine animals: sturdy build, broad hind limbs and short ears. The mountain hare lives in the forest or amongst reclining mountain pines and boulders.<\/p>\n<p>Often, the only evidence of the mountain hare\u2019s presence is its tracks in the snow. The imprint of the smaller forelimbs can be seen close together, whereas the broader hind limbs are wider apart. The hare\u2019s long hind feet are very hairy and they can be spread easily &#8211; almost as if the hare had snowshoes. They prevent it from sinking in the snow, which makes it easier to escape from its enemies.<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding: 56.25% 0 0 0; position: relative;\"><iframe style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/894565261?h=6e57f1488c\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/api\/player.js\"><\/script><br \/>\nThe mountain hare\u2019s winter coat is snow white, with black ear tips. In between seasons, its fur is white, flecked with grey-brown.<\/p>\n<p>Before the female gives birth to her young in early summer, she will already have mated again. Summer in the mountains is not very long, but this strategy of superfetation allows more babies to be born within the short season.<a href=\"https:\/\/nationalpark.ch\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/05\/\u00a9SNP_212_20190515_081027_A1764.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19753\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalpark.ch\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/05\/\u00a9SNP_212_20190515_081027_A1764.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nationalpark.ch\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/sites\/7\/2023\/05\/\u00a9SNP_212_20190515_081027_A1764.jpg.webp 1280w, https:\/\/nationalpark.ch\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/sites\/7\/2023\/05\/\u00a9SNP_212_20190515_081027_A1764-300x90.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/nationalpark.ch\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/sites\/7\/2023\/05\/\u00a9SNP_212_20190515_081027_A1764-1024x307.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/nationalpark.ch\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/sites\/7\/2023\/05\/\u00a9SNP_212_20190515_081027_A1764-600x180.jpg.webp 600w, https:\/\/nationalpark.ch\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/sites\/7\/2023\/05\/\u00a9SNP_212_20190515_081027_A1764-768x230.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/nationalpark.ch\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/sites\/7\/2023\/05\/\u00a9SNP_212_20190515_081027_A1764-150x45.jpg.webp 150w, https:\/\/nationalpark.ch\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/sites\/7\/2023\/05\/\u00a9SNP_212_20190515_081027_A1764-992x298.jpg.webp 992w, https:\/\/nationalpark.ch\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/sites\/7\/2023\/05\/\u00a9SNP_212_20190515_081027_A1764-460x138.jpg.webp 460w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-147","florafauna_cpt","type-florafauna_cpt","status-publish","hentry","florafauna_category-animals","florafauna_category-other-mammals"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Mountain hare - Swiss National Park<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/nationalpark.ch\/en\/flora-and-fauna\/mountain-hare\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Mountain hare - Swiss National Park\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The mountain hare is well adapted to the cold.
