The image depicts two European hares (Lepus europaeus) in a grassy, open field with a blurred, misty background suggesting a natural landscape. They appear to be in motion or about to move. The hares are surrounded by lush green grass, with some yellow wildflowers interspersed, indicating a spring or summer season. The background features soft green and grey tones, suggesting distant trees or hills obscured by mist or haze.

Brown Hares, Andrew Hutchinson.

Heterodon kennerlyi, a captive Mexican hognose snake, she was puffing up because her tank was about to be clean

Juanita the hognose snake, alas she passed away 5 years ago, she was a good snake and always puffed up and gave a show in my presence, I miss her…
