about

15.09.2013 at 02.20, Suonenjoki, Lempyy. Thickets of leafy trees and bushes are the favoured habitat of the Wood Hare. You can also find hares living in the bushes around abandoned meadows, in tall grass and in openings in the forest filled with saplings. The hare is active during the night and also in the hours just before dusk and just after dawn; during the day, the hare will hide around the roots of a spruce or juniper tree. In the summer, the hare feasts on leaves, twigs and the stems of grasses but in the winter it has to make do with the bark of aspen or birch trees and the twigs of bushes. Normally the Wood Hare is a silent creature but when attacked by a lynx or some other predator it screeches a whining scream. The hare is a good runner and can reach speeds of 60 km/h. However, the lynx can make a short spurt at speeds as high as 80 km/h and thus it can catch a fleeing hare. In this track, you can hear the sound made by a hare at around dawn in an autumn morning as it moves around the forest foraging for food.
