Arctic Hare
Friday: I didn't see a polar bear today, but I did get up close to a large arctic hare. We decided to walk back to the Science Center as the van was full of seedling and sapling samples. We saw the hare in front of an abandoned building. At first it jumped away as we got close, but then it found a pile of willow leaves and it began to eat it. The arctic hare is quite large, this one looked like it was close to thirty pounds!

Mrs. McMinn-
This arctic hare is white- since the hares change fur color between summer and winter, does this mean you should be ready for some snow?!?!?

Leigh - It actually snowed here the week before we came, enough snow that it stuck to the ground. It was gone when we arrived, but we did see some flurries.
Awww! It's cute! Although I can't imagine it being 30 pounds! How big are they (since you van't really tell from the video)?
