Pictures of the spring hare.

Okay, so it's not a hare and it's not a rabbit, but it's pretty close to an Easter bunny lookalike. Let's see you spring hare photos...

Nice idea, but I have nothing worth sharing sadly!

Unfortunately a little late.

The hare was jumping in a hole.

This spring hare was dashing back to its hole and I only had time to take one picture.

Hurray! Great photo, thanks for uploading, and reviving this poor spring hare thread. Matt.

I saw a lot of Spring Hares whilst in Zim but no photos: have you got any pics to share?

[Game Warden]

How about refreshing this topic with some new spring hare photos? What have you got on your hard drives to upload and share with us?

Eish. No springhares here.

~ As I'd never been on a night game drive before, after dinner we went out on a star-lit evening. The amount of game spotted exceeded my expectations, including a genet and an aardwolf.

It never had occurred to me that I'd ever see a spring hare, so I was startled when two jumped past us. As I almost never see rare species, it was a pleasure to photograph this spring hare.
