Encyclopedic overview

Alaskan hare skeleton on display at the Museum of Osteology. The Alaskan hare (Lepus othus), also known as the tundra hare, is a species of mammal in the family Leporidae. They do not dig burrows and are found in the open tundra of western Alaska and the Alaska Peninsula in the United States. They are solitary for most of the year except during mating season, when they produce a single litter of up to eight young. Predators include birds of prey (such as the snowy owl), lynx, mustelids and wolves, among other animals, as well as humans (typically hunted for food).
