The Mountain Hare Lepus timidus endures ferocious weather conditions and poor visibility high on the Cairngorm Plateau in winter. Each year the brown fur of the summer months transitions into winter white pelage enabling the hare to cryptically camouflage into their environment. In recent years some Scottish sporting estates have been drastically reducing hare populations on the pretext of being virally detrimental to the growth of grouse stock.
