Brown Hare at the British Wildlife Centre 14/03/10

[i]Lepus europaeus[/i] The centre has tow of the UK's three native lagomorphs (the Brown Hare and European Rabbit); only Mountain Hare is missing (the latter species is probably the commonest wild lagomorph in continental zoos, however). A superb small collection and host to this year's IZES UK Zoo Collectors' Fair.

      Lepus europaeus

      The centre has two of the UK's three native lagomorphs (the Brown Hare and European Rabbit); only Mountain Hare is missing (the latter species is probably the commonest wild lagomorph in continental zoos, however).

      A superb small collection and host to this year\'s IZES UK Zoo Collectors\' Fair.

      Not hard, being as other than those three taxa no other lagomorphs are held ;)

      Do you know if they breed the Brown Hare?
    • Maguari
      I don't I'm afraid - from memory I think we only saw this one so it could be they only have a singleton.

      Norfolk Wildlife Park bred Brown Hares (and Arctic) in the 1970s/80s. Looking at their species list, it seems an interesting collection, but a much smaller one than Great Witchingham in its heyday. The near total absence of birds says something about today's zeitgeist I suspect.
