Mountain Hare - Lepus timidus |
 The mountain or blue hare is the UK's only native lagomorph (Brown hares and rabbits were probably introduced species). They are specialists of the uplands and boreal forests. In Scotland they primarily occupy moorland that is being managed for red grouse. There has been relatively little work done on the mountain hare in Scotland. However, it is known that there numbers peak and trough on a 10 year cycle, but also that it would appear that numbers are falling in areas of Scotland where they used to be high.
