Not the Easter Bunny

These tracks were found along the Biathlon track on Friday.  That's a toonie in the middle, to give it a bit of scale.

The tracks belong to a Snowshoe Hare.  The owner may not be all that large -- their trademark is their huge feet from which they get their name.

Hares are a bit larger than rabbits, and they typically have taller hind legs and longer ears. Snowshoe hares have especially large, furry feet that help them to move atop snow in the winter. They also have a snow-white winter coat that turns brown when the snow melts each spring. It takes about ten weeks for the coat to completely change color.  Because of that changing coat, some people call them Varying Hares.

We call them neighbours.
