Wild Hares and Woodland Spring Settings
A woodland clearing surrounded by forest trees forms the habitat where a wild hare rests beside a decorated egg and a pussy willow branch. Wild hares inhabit open forest glades, relying on natural camouflage and keen senses to stay safe.
Natural History of Woodland Hares
Unlike domestic rabbits, European wild hares live entirely above ground in shallow depressions called forms rather than digging subterranean burrows. Wild hares can reach running speeds of up to forty-five miles per hour to evade woodland predators. Pussy willow branches produce soft, furry catkins in early spring before their green leaves emerge.
Real Colors of Forest Hares and Willow Branches
- hare fur: tawny brown, grayish brown, and buff cream on the underside
- hare ears and tips: light brown with distinct black tips on the upper edges
- pussy willow catkins: silvery gray soft fuzz on dark reddish-brown wooden twigs
- woodland ground foliage: moss green, fallen brown leaves, and dark forest soil
- decorated easter egg: bright painted patterns of cobalt blue, yellow, and magenta
