In the wild, Snowshoe Hares are found in Alaska and North America. The name "snowshoe" is inspired from its large hind feet.

At birth, baby Snowshoe Hares have brown fur which later turns white during the winter months.

Left and Below: Some close-up pictures of those tiny baby hares in late spring/early summer. At this stage, they are barely taller than the surrounding grass.

This cute baby Snowshoe Hare is eager to explore its surroundings. It climbed on top of a rock in the middle of a flower field to enjoy the sun and the view of the new world.

On this summer day, the morning was cold and rainy but later turned into a warm and sunny afternoon, just in time for the photo session.

The warmth of the rock must have been very comfortable for the baby rabbit.

Snowshoe Hare in Winter

During the winter, a brown fur would make this rabbit an easy prey against the white snow.

This tiny rabbit is trying to navigate through the vegetation. It's barely taller than the blades of grass. At this young age, it is roughly the size of an adult Pika and can fit in your hand. The baby bunny ears are still roundish but will eventually grow to approximately 3 inches long in adults.

The baby Snowshoe Hare is growing bigger every day. We can see the shape of the ears are now more elongated.

Old enough to explore its surroundings and play on top of a rock.
