description	It is hard to define what at t ract s attention to the snowshoe hare. Compared to many familiar mammals, hares appear to live singularly humdrum lives. They do not migrate over long distances, do not store food in cheek pouches, are not ferocious or cunning, cannot climb trees, and never hurl themselves over cliffs into the sea. Nevertheless, we are very much aware of hares. Next to the skunk — considered something of a suburbanite — they are perhaps our most visible wild mammal. Even the most myopic observers cannot fail to notice them feeding along the roadsides in the summer twilight. In winter, their tell-tale t racks are a constant reminder that the woods are full of unseen hares.
