Sorry, bunny-lovers: snowshoe hares eat meat — including other hares

Snowshoe hares eat meat, and they don't seem all that picky about what kind of animal it comes from.

A natural history paper published recently in the journal Northwestern Naturalist documents hares in Yukon's boreal forest scavenging on grouse, loon, other hares and even lynx.

Proof that hares and rabbits do eat ptarmigans. They will be eating humans next.  :mad: :argh:

Hares are cannibals and eat meat, surprising photos reveal

One of the strangest discoveries among the recent data, says Peers, is that hares eat the feathers from the carcasses of a bird called the spruce grouse. It’s unknown how their stomachs are able to digest these feathers, which may be a source of fiber. (Read about how snowshoe hares are coping with climate change.)

Cottontail rabbits have been seen scavenging grouse in the Appalachians, cows prey on bird eggs and chicks in Wisconsin, beavers eat dead salmon in Alaska, and white-tailed deer in the Dakotas raid ground-dwelling birds’ nests.

Proof that rabbits kill ptarmigans. They are going to prey on humans next.  :mad: :argh:

Poor little bunny out there in the cold like that. Eating frozen meat. The least the camera guy could've done was defrost the carcass!  :fuelfire:
