    Good Evening CW Members--- 11:30 PM)2016-7-14
    At one time in my life there nowhere I go without my Camera, this is before digital camera coming affordable to buy, this picture was taken with 35mm negative film, in my opinion, still the way to go, but IPhone, Tablet and Digital camera coming more and more sophisticated.
    In 1989 i was recruited with others candidate to go in some very far area in the North of Quebec to find nesting Birds with indication of there nidification, we stay in an area for 3 day's for collecting data on those birds, for sure a camping ground was the way to do it, usual located in the middle of the area block, a block was 10 miles by 10 miles, we move after 3 day's to the next block beside, above or below.
    This Hare become very familiar with us, at the sun coming down posing for me at the camping ground, very nice little fellow.
    Picture 1 show how they could be very agile to get fresh little leafs and fruits, even able to stand still while eating.

    Thanks for Viewing.
    Alan
    -------------------------------------------Hare----------------------------------------
    Hares and jackrabbits are leporids belonging to the genus Lepus. Hares are classified into the same family as rabbits. They are similar in size and form to rabbits and eat the same diet. They are generally herbivorous and long-eared, they are fast runners, and they typically live solitarily or in pairs. Hare species are native to Africa, Eurasia, North America, and the Japanese archipelago.

    Five leporid species with "hare" in their common names are not considered true hares: the hispid hare (Caprolagus hispidus), and four species known as red rock hares (comprising Pronolagus). Meanwhile, jackrabbits are hares rather than rabbits.

    A hare less than one year old is called a leveret. The collective noun for a group of hares is a "drove".
    -------------------------------Folklore and mythology------------------------------
    The hare in African folk tales is a trickster; some of the stories about the hare were retold among African slaves in America, and are the basis of the Br'er Rabbit stories. The hare appears in English folklore in the saying "as mad as a March hare" and in the legend of the White Hare that alternatively tells of a witch who takes the form of a white hare and goes out looking for prey at night or of the spirit of a broken-hearted maiden who cannot rest and who haunts her unfaithful lover.In Irish folklore, the hare is often associated with Sidh (Fairy) or other pagan elements. In these stories, characters who harm hares often suffer dreadful consequences.

    While oft repeated that the hare was associated with the Anglo-Saxon goddess ?ostre, and that pagan symbols were appropriated into the Christian tradition as the Easter Bunny, no primary sources support this myth. It seems to be a modern invention.

    Many cultures, including the Chinese, Japanese, and Mexican, see a hare in the pattern of dark patches in the moon (see Moon rabbit); this tradition forms the basis of the Angelo Branduardi song "The Hare in the Moon".
    The constellation Lepus represents a hare.

    One of Aesop's Fables tells the story of The Tortoise and the Hare. The hare was regarded as an animal sacred to Aphrodite and Eros because of its high libido. Live hares were often presented as a gift of love.

    In June 2014, the Pushkin House (the Institute of Russian Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences) hosted the international conference, "The Philosophy of the Hare: Unexpected perspectives in the research in the humanities". Papers on various aspects of hares and rabbits in the world cultures will be presented. The conference's organizers came up with its idea and name as a retort to an earlier claim by the Russia's Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky that humanities scholars were wasting government money conducting research on incomprehensible topics with names such as the "Philosophy of the Hare".
