Snowshoe Hare

These really rather cute hares are everywhere in Alaska. I was driving in the early morning on the Richardson Highway in Alaska and saw so many of these on the edges of the roads it was surreal. I had to drive slowly and weave around a hare when it decided to put some speed on and cross into the road. They have exceptionally large feet, for all the snow they live in for most of the year. They will soon be turning white for winter.
