@VATVSLPR@c.im @jfmezei@cosocial.ca What do you base that opinion on? The hares browse mostly on willow, which makes up the bulk of their winter food and a lot of their summer food. It sustains them summer and winter. Our snow cover can last 9 months. That’s a long time to live on fat reserves.

@NunavutBirder@mas.to @VATVSLPR@c.im How much of ground thaws in summer for them to burrow some dens ? Or are they able to dig into permafrost to make deeper dens that have more constant temperature year round? Or do they find areas between rocks where they can plug in gaps with dried vegetation?
