The March Madness
The mating period of European hares starts end of January, beginning of February and ends end of July, beginning of August. The height of the breeding season, is known as "March madness", when the normally nocturnal bucks are forced to be active in the daytime.The boxing usually occurs when a male is being too persistent with a female, chasing her across fields in an attempt to mate.
Right at the beginning of the hare breeding season, in January, is also the best time to see the constellation Lepus.
It's finally starting to feel like Spring 🌷🌷

White Spotting in European Red Foxes
Here’s another weird color mutation I’ve been finding examples of recently. The top fox was killed in the UK, while the bottom two were killed in the Netherlands as part of an unrelated research project.
Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find out any more information about it, other then this spotting appears to be common in foxes in the South Limburg region of the Netherlands, (suggesting it’s genetic and not a random mutation.)
Clearly it’s a less dramatic form of leucisum, but if anyone has anymore info/pictures of this mutation then please let me know! I’m really fascinated by the variation in color of both wild and captive-bred foxes.

TBH probably going to use this as my training adventures with this boy. Working on more positive training methods. Eventually, he'll be a service dog but for now, still in training.
Currently working on a generalized settle in the house without the use of a placebed. It's too cold to be outside so he uses a treadmill for now once a day. We're finally interested in working again.
TWO (2) bones. This is the kind of decadence that caused the decline of Rome.
