Description: | The arctic hare, or blue hare, is a widespread resident of northern and upland areas throughout Europe, Asia and North America. It feeds on low growing vegetation. It is also an important prey species for many larger predators. It can run very fast in order to escape these predators, reaching up to 80 km per hour. In arctic regions, the hare grows a coat of white fur in the winter to help to disguise it against the snow. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | animals natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
