They are northern species that inhabits boreal forest.]]> 2020-04-01 03:02:38 UTC https://padlet.com/alexiaanderson/rc54cfjodevr/wish/485708531 alexiaanderson https://padlet.com/alexiaanderson/rc54cfjodevr/wish/485708693 Snowshoe hares are know to be larger rabbits. They have very furry feet to help them hop on snow. Also during the spring time their fur turns from white to brown.  The diet of snowshoe hares varies depending on the season. In the summer they forage on vegetation that includes grasses, fire weed, vetch, lupine, clover, dandelion and strawberry. In winter, they turn their attention to twigs, bark and buds from both coniferous and deciduous trees and shrubs. Snowshoe hares are quick and agile, able to move as fast as 27 mph. They can leap 10 ft in one jump and change direction quickly to escape predators. Snowshoe Hares are mainly nocturnal. They use systems of trails in the undergrowth of the forest to look for food.]]> 2020-04-01 03:02:56 UTC https://padlet.com/alexiaanderson/rc54cfjodevr/wish/485708693 alexiaanderson https://padlet.com/alexiaanderson/rc54cfjodevr/wish/485708862 2020-04-01 03:03:12 UTC https://padlet.com/alexiaanderson/rc54cfjodevr/wish/485708862 alexiaanderson https://padlet.com/alexiaanderson/rc54cfjodevr/wish/485709030 If Snowshoe Hares go extinct then most of the Lynx will go extinct as well because it will they rely on the Snowshoe Hair as their main source of food. Which would also affect the other animals further up the food chain as well.

Then go in a safe spot try your best to recreate there habitat. Then research some more and where you might find them and go carefully catch a male and female. Carefully take them to the safe spot you made for them and take care of them until the have repopulated enough you can release them around the same area you found them.  While keeping them in a safe habitat we need to figure out what made them almost extinct so when we repopulate them and release them they will not repeat the same pattern.

By better understanding their environment we can see what caused them to almost be extinct and try and fix it. I feel that it would take a couple years for them to repopulate enough that they would be able to survive again in their natural habitat. ]]> 2020-06-03 17:47:48 UTC https://padlet.com/alexiaanderson/rc54cfjodevr/wish/609477352 alexiaanderson https://padlet.com/alexiaanderson/rc54cfjodevr/wish/609497041 2020-06-03 17:57:39 UTC https://padlet.com/alexiaanderson/rc54cfjodevr/wish/609497041 alexiaanderson https://padlet.com/alexiaanderson/rc54cfjodevr/wish/609503650 2020-06-03 18:00:59 UTC https://padlet.com/alexiaanderson/rc54cfjodevr/wish/609503650 alexiaanderson https://padlet.com/alexiaanderson/rc54cfjodevr/wish/609511158 The snowshoe hare may have up to four litters in a year, which average three to eight young. Males compete for females, and females may breed with several males. So they can reproduce around 32 young a year. ]]> 2020-06-03 18:04:55 UTC https://padlet.com/alexiaanderson/rc54cfjodevr/wish/609511158 alexiaanderson https://padlet.com/alexiaanderson/rc54cfjodevr/wish/609519005 The Snowshoe Hares are facing extinction due to climate changes. The white hares stand out too much in the brown environment. This is making it easier for their prey to see them. Which is putting their species in danger. I feel that there is not much we can do about the climate changes but that we could relocate them to a better environment that better suits them. The only problem with relocated them is that it will affect the other animals in the area especially the Lynx. ]]> 2020-06-03 18:09:05 UTC https://padlet.com/alexiaanderson/rc54cfjodevr/wish/609519005 alexiaanderson https://padlet.com/alexiaanderson/rc54cfjodevr/wish/609540733 The snowshoe hare population can rapidly rise and fall on a 10-year cycle. During high population years, researchers estimate there are about 3,400 hares per square mile. For example, hunters in the winter of 1980-81 harvested 286,000, and just 12,000 five years later after the population crashed. ]]> 2020-06-03 18:20:33 UTC https://padlet.com/alexiaanderson/rc54cfjodevr/wish/609540733 alexiaanderson https://padlet.com/alexiaanderson/rc54cfjodevr/wish/609554215 As you can see in the chart the Snowshoe Hare has a great impact on the Lynx.]]> 2020-06-03 18:27:43 UTC https://padlet.com/alexiaanderson/rc54cfjodevr/wish/609554215
