Talk:Arctic hare/Archive 1

Untitled
The picture is the same as the Snowshoe Hare.

Also, the size and weight for this hare seems to be off. 24 inches and 9-12 lbs is very large and heavy for hares in the parts of the world where this creature is supposed to inhabit.


 * The snowshoe hare is different from the artic hare. Give us the source that you found the size of it at and I would be more than happy to change it. ILovePlankton 14:22, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Both should be used. Use convert for automatic conversions. - UtherSRG (talk) 13:11, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

The article was editted by an unidentified person in Feb 2009 to change the statement that these hares are white year-round in far north, to say that they change color in summer. The statement is not supported by citations. That may be true in more southerly locations - I don't know. But I saw numerous arctic hares this summer on Ellesmere Island and they were all completely white, consistent with other evidence. The coloring statement should be reviewed by a biologist or checked against good references. Gierszep (talk) 03:04, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Captivity
There is no mention in this article of the captive breeding of arctic hares which has been more successful (though still failed to produce young that were successfully reintroduced to the wild) than attempts with all other hare species.--Zerothis (talk) 01:54, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
