I was walking down the road when this snowshoe hare popped out of the bush. We both stood stock still for a moment before I reached for my camera. I managed one shot before he disappeared into the woods. #mammals 🌿

Meet one of Oregon’s tiniest alpine residents: the pika 🏔️ These round-eared, squeaky little mammals (relatives of rabbits!) live high in the rocky slopes of places like the Cascades. #pika #oregon #wildlife #PNW

🐇 Tiny but mighty: meet Oregon’s pygmy rabbit. The pygmy rabbit is the smallest rabbit in North America and one of Oregon’s most unique native mammals. Protecting sagebrush means protecting Oregon wildlife. 🌿🐾 #OregonWildlife #PygmyRabbit #SagebrushSteppe #HighDesert #OregonNature

Our #lagomorphoftheweek is the Arctic Hare (Lepus arcticus). They reside in Northern Canada and Greenland in the Arctic tundra. They are a species of least concern in terms of conservation. Photo by Marie and Alistair Knock from iNaturalist.

Hare today, gone tomorrow 😊 from a recent visit to the North York Moors. #Hare

This week's #lagomorphoftheweek thread is done! Hope you found the Volcano Rabbit interesting. A new lagomorph will be shared Monday! There's so much information it's hard to decide what to share. I hope you are inspired to look up these interesting animals and learn more :)

Hare's are great 🙂 #photography #Nature #wildlife #ukwildlife #mammals #Shropshire #Hares

This pika lives in the rocks at about eleven thousand feet on the northern slope of Hermosa Peak, near Rico, Colorado. #colorado #wildlife #photography

Teeny tiny lagomorph! Tagging @lagomorphology.bsky.social, in case they haven't seen this post.

Today, I was allowed to share in a fantastic party with five hares. I have been accepted as an honorary hare! 💚 #NationalMammalWeek #Hares #Caithness #Scotland #Wildlife #NaturePhotography

Starting on Monday I'll be posting a weekly featured lagomorph species, follow the hashtag #lagomorphoftheweek to learn about a #rabbit #pika or #hare species. I will also still repost interesting lagomorph art, photography, science and articles I find here as usual.

Our final medieval hare may be my favourite. This free-floating, baffled-looking hare is playing a set of bagpipes in the Rothschild Canticles, c1300. #medievalmanuscripts #medievalbeasts #hares #hare

It’s National Mammal Week! We are able to produce trends for nine mammal species across the UK. Find out more about mammal recording on BBS squares: www.bto.org/get-invo... @btobirds.bsky.social JNCC RSPB Science Mammal Society #NationalMammalWeek

On the second Sunday after Easter, Misericordias Domini, the artist met a hare outside Nuremberg. In a way, the hare would stay with him for the rest of his life. Read more about Albrecht and the hare in our 50th #darkstpringtide tale below. 🎨 Hans Hoffmann (after 1576)

🏔️ In honor of #NationalParkWeek, we're celebrating the American pika. Want to join the Pika Patrol? Whether you're an experienced backcountry hiker or just passionate about Colorado's wildlife, there's a place for you in this effort. 🐾 https://denverzoo.org/community-science/

Another lovely lagomorph photo for @lagomorphology.bsky.social

Pika are the ideal animal for science that requires the involvement of an entire community and the Oregon Zoo facilitates training people who learn how to spot and record pika. Sites are accessed on public hiking trails, and volunteers can join Cascades Pika Watch! 7/7

American pika make their dens in boulder fields and among the mass of broken rock that accumulates at the base of cliffs, typically at elevations of 8,000 to 13,000 feet, near the treeline and surrounding vegetation. It's cold! 1/

Wonderful encounter with this confiding Mountain hare earlier today. #Mammals #ScottishHighlands
