#alpine hare

[bisquiibits]

“A Patch of Spring” An ATC (artist trading card) that I've created for an art trade! ^^ This card features two "alpine hares" and was created with watercolors. The soft sunset helps me to create a warm atmosphere despite the the cold snow ♫ > Please do not repost, recreate, trace, edit or use my art, thanks~ :3

A timid hare is cautiously listening to its surroundings.

Here it's as far from winter as it gets - and super hot - so obviously it's the perfect time to draw a snow bunny in its white winter coat! xD

This bunny is also available as all kinds of prints and merchandise on https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/161500944 if you want to take one home ^^

Mountain hare, also known as blue hare, tundra hare, variable hare, white hare, snow hare, alpine hare, and Irish hare, is a species of Palearctic hare that is largely adapted to polar and mountainous habitats.

This species is distributed from Fennoscandia to eastern Siberia; in addition, isolated mountain populations occur in the Alps, Scotland, the Baltics, northeastern Poland, and Hokkaidō. In Ireland, the Irish hare (L. t. hibernicus) lives on lowland pastures, coastal grasslands, and salt marshes, not just in the mountains. The mountain hare has also been introduced to Iceland, Shetland, Orkney, the Isle of Man, the Peak District, Svalbard, the Kerguelen Islands, the Crozet Islands, and the Faroe Islands. In the Alps, the mountain hare lives at elevations from 700 to 3,800 m (2,300 to 12,500 ft), depending on geographic region and season.

F1 Grid as Animals

Was drawing my leonin dnd character and he somehow ended up looking like Max, which obviously had me thinking about the whole Dutch Lion stuff, and then what animal I would associate with the other drivers based on looks, region, and personalities.

Max Vertsappen - Transvaal Lion (obvious reasons and Transvaal sometimes have a naturally have a lighter coat.)

Checo Perez - Chocolate Labrador (look friendly but are still considered a gun dog)

Daniel Ricciardo - Honey Badger (for obvious reasons but also they are know to take on and defend against lions in the wild)/Doberman or Beauceron with floppy ears (ears get snipped at Mclaren)

Yuki Tsunoda - Japanese Sparrowhawk (can be aggressive despite their smaller size. Great agility)

Liam Lawson - Bull Terrier (The look really similar, idk how to explain it)

Isack Hadjar - Striped Hyena

Carlos Sainz - Spanish Fighting Bull/Black Andalusian Horse

Charles Leclerc - Thoroughbred Horse/ European Hare

Lando Noriss - Irish Red Setter (again, a family friendly gun dog. Has the curls)

Oscar Piastri - Whistling Kite (not as aggressive as other birds of prey but still a very agile hunter)

Lewis Hamilton - Black Leopard

George Russel- Sika Deer (very gorgeous but has an aggressive streak)

Kimi Antonelli - Roe Deer

Fernando Alonso - Iberian Red Fox (opportunistic and adaptable, epitome of cunning)

Lance Stroll - Moose

Alex Albon - Clouded Leopard (incredibly elusive and are great ambush predators)/Greater Racket Tailed Drongo (will be aggressive and take on larger predators if threatened. Also flashy courting rituals lol)

Franco Colapinto - Pampas Fox

Logan Sergeant - American Golden Retriever

Nico Hulkenberg - Long Haired German Shepherd

Kevin Magnussen - Eurasian Eagle Owl/Eurasian Brown Bear

Ollie Bearman - Black Bear

Esteban Ocon - Picardy Spaniel (French working breed)

Pierre Gasly - Alpine Chamois

Jack Doohan - Kangaroo/ Carpet Python (big and strong Australian and just pure vibes)

Valteire Bottas - Finish Forrest Reindeer

Zhou Guanyu - Leopard Cat

Gabriel Bortoleto - Maned Wolf

Drawings done while I was high and a bit tipsy lol

Alright fellas Ice hybrids go!

Cotton a Mud/Ice hybrid (named before I realised what environment cotton grows in but I'm in too deep to change it now). A rather imposing figure, Cotton doesn't talk much and others don't really talk to him. He works as a guard in the Skywing Palace (Upon personal request of one Swallowtail) being the only none Skywing (or Sky hybrid) to be a guard in the palace. He's engaged to Swallowtail and Alpine wearing their feathers to show it. (Swallowtail and Alpine wear a horn band with Sapphires to represent Cotton). The three of them met during a time of uncertainty for hybrids in Pyrriha, they bonded and have stuck together ever since.

Evening and Fox sand/Ice siblings (ignore the fact Evening is not a Sand or Ice name once again I am in to deep to change it, also I made Fox a bit more chonky then he originally was but I love it) Evening is several years older then Fox, they don't have a close relationship but at most they do care for each other. Evening teaches the history of the Sand and Ice kingdom at the school in their hometown.

Fox participates in illegal fights at the Scorpion Den, he's currently dating Hydra after she beat his ass in a fight, they get along really well.

Reflection a Hive/Ice hybrid and husband of Tulang. Reflection has memory loss often relying on writing down what happens in a day as well as what others tell him. This has caused mild amounts of paranoia as he has no way of telling if what their saying is true unless he deemed it important enough to write down.

Illusion and Hare a pair of Night/Ice hybrids living in an Ice kingdom village called Where-the-colours-collied, a village not to far from where the remains of the Great Ice Cliff used to be. The village is full of dragons from different tribes and hybrids (The Populis is still mostly Icewings and Ice hybrids). Hare and Illusion don't stand out but they are the only Night/Ice hybrids in the village. Illusion goes to JMA. Most of the students and teachers believe he's Black with White stripes, only a few dragons know that his scales change colour, his boyfriend Starfall is one of them.

So firstly, I changed Hares colours because her original colours where picked from an OC that belonged to one of my old friends. I'm no longer friends with them and didn't like how the colours looked, her new colours are picked from Auroura pictures. Hare was born under an Auroura but doesn't have any powers, instead she uses the old old way and uses the stars to predicted events, most think this is unreliable but they shut up real quick when she gives them a wack.

Finally Lupine another Mud/Ice hybrid with no relation to Cotton. Lupine lives in the unnamed Village where all vanish, he was running from an arranged marriage with a Mudwing noble. He is now happily married to Sparkling, Fir and Vampire wearing one of Vampire bats feathers as a show of this. Lupine provides entertainment for Sparkling's bar have an almost angelic singing voice.

I'm really proud of how these guys look now that I'm more confident in drawing Icewings, I'm extra proud of Cotton and Lupine look now. I also really like Hares new colour pallet I think it's more pleasing to look at then her old one.

Imma start working on the next batch soon since I got a new note book now.

Mammals of Maglor’s Gap and Lothlann

Now that I’ve finished world building posts on birds for each Fëanorian realm pre Amon Ereb, I’m going through mammals next! Mammals of the March of Maedhros can be found here and my environmental world building Masterlist is here!

Maglor’s Gap was the widest break in the mountains and cliffs dividing Beleriand and the lands to the north. It lay between the blue mountains to the east and the March of Maedhros to the west. Lothlann was a wide expanse of plains to the north of the Gap. The rivers greater and little Gelion ran around the western and eastern borders.

Forest steppes: wild goat, wood bison, southern white breasted hedgehog, gray marmot, ground squirrel, dormouse, woolly hares, long eared hedgehog, gray shrews, northern hog badger, sable (rare), steppe mouse, lesser noctule (bat), wildcat, red fox, red deer

Bordering mountain fences: Caucasian Tur, mouflon, chamois, alpine pika, pond bat, marbled polecat, saiga antelope, steppe polecat, mountain weasel, ibex (rare), argali

Plains: goitered gazelle, steppe wolf, wild horse, northern water vole (by the rivers), snow vole, grey dwarf hamster, common hare, common rabbit, striped field mouse, ural field mouse, harvest mouse, mountain hare, field vole (also primarily by rivers), wild horse

World building notes:

The horse based cavalry of Maglor is one of the few details we have about this region. I headcanon that the horses in question are a mixture of the descendants of the Valinor born horses brought by the Fëanorian host as well as wild horses from Estolad, Himlad, Lothlann and the other plains regions of Eastern Beleriand.

Sheep and goats provide the majority of milk and cheese products in the Gap. Some of these species are imported from other regions like sheep from Thargelion.

Domesticated bovine are rare in Eastern Beleriand outside Thargelion and parts of Estolad. There are however wild and semi domesticated bison such as the wood bison, especially on the borders of forested and forest steppe regions. Fur, skin and bones from bison are used by both Noldorin and Avarin elves for clothing and other materials.

Wild hamsters, rabbits, hares and voles were used by a select few of Maglor’s cavalry as companions and even spies.

A regiment of foot based scouts had the sigil of a hare in the form of a light silhouette upon a black background.

What's the fauna of Greece like? I'm guessing there are a lot of reptiles and bovidae...

Bovidae not so much. Apart from the domestic ones of course which are plenty indeed, especially the goats, wild species of bovidae are only the alpine chamois and the endemic Cretan ibex. A notable yet domestic species is the water buffalo.

Other ungulates include the wild boar, the red deer, the fallow deer, and the roe deer. There are originally domestic horses which escaped or were abandoned by their owners and have now formed herds up in the mountains and have returned to a semi-wild state of being. There is also the Greek breed of the Skyrian horse, some small and delicate horses that are maybe slightly temperamental. Plenty of domestic donkeys and mules in Greece too.

A Cretan ibex and a Skyrian horse.

 In Greece there are also the European rabbit and the European hare, the southern white-breasted hedgehog and the northern white-breasted hedgehog, the European mole, some ten species of shrew and around thirty species of rodents  (squirrels,  dormice,  mice,  rats  and  voles).

There are about 36 species of bats. Larger, carnivorous mammals found in Greece include the European wildcat, the Balkan lynx, the red fox, the golden jackal, the grey wolf, the Eurasian brown bear, the introduced American mink, the least weasel, the European polecat, the marbled polecat, the beech marten, the European pine marten, the European badger and the Eurasian otter. There used to be Eurasian beavers in Greece but they have gone extinct from the region, however there are efforts to reintroduce the animal to the country. Greek seas are the most significant habitat of the severely endangered Mediterranean monk seal, the only seal in the Mediterranean sea, because this is where it reproduces, so there is a national marine park specifically for its protection. There are also 15 species of dolphins, whales and porpoises, including sperm whales and orcas. The dolphin is Greece's national animal.

Mediteranean monk seals.

The most populus large animal community in Greece is by far the avian fauna. There is a total of 478 bird species, so I am not going to list them all. Greece is a very good destination for bird watching. It is a remaining habitat for several birds that have started disappearing from the rest of Europe. Some of its most notable birds are the flamingos, the Dalmatian pelicans, several eagles and falcons and at least three species of large vultures.

Dalmatian pelican, flamingo and vulture of Greece.

Now the reptiles, I don't know if they are considered many, more like so-so. There are 76 species of reptiles in Greece, most of them lizards but a lot of snakes as well. There are also three species of sea turtles and six more species of tortoises and pond turtles, including the endangered Caretta caretta loggerhead sea turtle which also reproduces almost exclusively in Greece so we have another national marine park for the protection of this turtle. Notable is the presence of two species of chameleons. In Greece, only the vipers are dangerous snakes. There are five species of vipers in the country, including the endemic Milos viper.

The characteristically brown Milos viper, the Mediterranean chameleon and the loggerhead sea turtle.

There are 26 species of amphibians, mostly frogs but several salamanders as well. Three of them are endemic; the Karpathos frog, the Cretan frog and the Karpathos salamander.

On the other hand, there are several freshwater fishes, namely around 160 species, of which at least 18 are endemic plus the entire Tropidophoxinellus genus which is also endemic in the country.

There are about 1101 species of insects and 145 species of arachnids. Arachnids present in Greece include the scorpion, the Mediterranean black widow and the Mediterranean recluse (brown spider), those three being the venomous ones that can be a danger to humans. There are tarantulas in Greece as well, but not any dangerous species. It's important to note that both in the arachnid case and in the vipers' case, they are generally not aggressive and reports of dangerous bites / stings are extremely super rare. Same with the orcas. They don't approach the shores and humans. Same with the brown bears. They don't attack humans. Sometimes they get into the villages of Grevena to find food and people stay inside their houses but I don' t think there's ever been an attack actually.

As for marine fishes, I couldn't find a conclusive source on how many they can possibly be but they are a lot obviously. There are sharks in Greece, including large ones, including actually the occasional passing by of the great white shark but they stay way in the open. There's never been any report of a healthy white shark nearing shallow waters and populated coastal places. On the contrary, dolphins show up all the time, it's always so exciting to see them. And the seals rarely even lounge on the beaches next to swimmers. Back to the fish, there are rays but also haven't heard anything happening. On the contrary, more frequent are the incidents of stepping on a scorpaena fish and that hurts like hell. There are also venomous jellyfish in Greece that present a danger, however I don't think they are dangerous for a human's life. But it will need a visit to the hospital. Here I won't talk about the incredibly stupid decision I made once that resulted in a large jellyfish lying flat on my face. Thankfully it was a saloufa, which is not venomous, because if it was I would probably be before Saint Peter's Gates now after such a full face contact. The TERROR of seeing a jellyfish lying flat on your face though...

Bunhild - Adherent of Hare

A protector of small creatures and a hunter of poachers, Bunhild was born to Hare shaman parents who taught her that all the Spirits of the Wild are important and have lessons to teach. While she didn't become a shaman like her parents, she is still a close follower of Bunny and tries to embody all the virtues she was taught about this Spirit. When she was a child, Bunhild befriended and tamed an alpine wolf pup, which she named Jackalupe (or Jack for short), starting the beginning of her journey to becoming a Ranger. She loves and - along with her pets - protects all smaller and weaker creatures, but has an obvious soft spot for bunnies.

"Small creatures like rabbits and deer can't fight back against a Norn, there's no honor in killing something that can't fight back, and nobody would boast at a moot about their great hunt that involved killing a bunny. And not even killing them for survival and sustenance? That just makes the actions of poachers despicable!" - Bunhild

More bookmarks!

These were also commissioned by my mother, though this time she bought them as a birthday gift for my aunt. It's really about time I open commissions for people other than my own mom lol

The bookmark with the fox and the raven took an insane amount of time, I think I spent 13 hours on it! I was really making sure to pay attention to the details, and to take my time including different species of plants and fungi that can be found in my local area. In the background there are bushes of european blueberry/bilberry, and in the foreground there grows crowberry, clubmoss and twinflower. The mushrooms are penny bun, birch bolete and chanterelle. The big ferns on the left are lady-fern and the small ones on the right are deer fern.

On the second bookmark there's the heads of a red fox and a mountain hare. The plants growing at the bottom are foxgloves and alpine bistort. (in Norwegian it is known as "harerug", directly translated as "hare rye") So both the plants match the names of the animals :)

These were a lot of fun to work on! I'm hoping to make more bookmarks in the future, maybe I could even take commissions online for them, if anyone's interested.

White-tailed Ptarmigan vs Sickle-winged Nightjar

sources under the cut

White-tailed Ptarmigan (Lagopus leucura)

Lagopus is derived from Ancient Greek, meaning "hare foot". This is due to the heavily feathered legs and feet of ptarmigan.

eBird sightings: 5,809; IUCN Redlist Rating: Least Concern

Also known as the Snow Quail, this is the smallest bird in the grouse family. It serves as an indicator species for alpine tundra, and thankfully continues to fill a large range of western North America. The English name "ptarmigan" is Scottish Gaelic in origin, with 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker", referring to the bird's frog-like call. The p- was added due to a mistaken belief the word was Greek in origin, with the thinking being that the word related to 'pteron', "wing".

Sickle-winged Nightjar (Eleothreptus anomalus)

Eleothreptus, from Ancient Greek, means "marsh bred"

eBird sightings: 267; IUCN Redlist Rating: Vulnerable

There is not a lot of information on this bird, as nightjar are already cryptic and the common distribution of this bird hasn't been fully studied. They're currently found in northeastern Argentina, southern Paraguay, and southern Brazil. The Sickle-winged Nightjar shares its genus with a single other nightjar, which is also sparsely distributed across South America.

American Pika at Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve

They are tough and mighty, American pikas inhabit the talus-filled alpine tundra of western North America. These furry mammals, frequently mistaken for their yellow electrical counterpart Pikachu, are herbivores that forage and gather grasses in the summertime to prepare for the cold and harsh winters where they continue to stay active under the snowpack. Blending into the barren environment of the treeless and rock filled alpine tundra, their fur ranges in color from tan to brown. Due to their impressive camouflage efforts, American pikas are typically heard first before being seen. Often described as a lamb-like “bleating,” pikas use their high pitched squeals in an effort to protect their territories and to alert other pikas of an incoming predator. Adapted to the near freezing summer temperatures of the tundra, American pikas are facing pressures with increasing temperatures limiting the suitable habitat needed for their survival. While many other species are shifting their habitats toward higher elevations to escape the heat, most pikas are already at the highest limits of their habitat. Similar to polar bears, pikas have slowly become another indicator species to symbolize the potential effects of climate change. Although not listed under the Endangered Species Act, pikas are under a potential threat with changing temperatures, and might be one of the first species, along with many more, to disappear from the region if we don’t come together to help and protect our unique wildlife.

Pikas are not rodents, but lagomorphs, related to rabbits and hares.

All animal species (and a couple algae) that have kept the same scientific name since Linnaeus

The first work of taxonomy that is considered as having any scientific authority for animal species was the 10th edition of Linnaeus' Systema Naturae, published in 1758. (Also a book on spiders called Aranei Suecici, published one year before.) That's the foundational text of the binominal system of nomenclature of species still in use today. Since then most of Linnaeus' original species (4379 species, of which 185 mammals, 554 birds, 217 "amphibians" (including reptiles and cartilaginous fish), 379 fishes, 2104 "insects" (including various arthropods, of which 664 are beetles and 543 are moths & butterflies crammed into only 3 genera), and 940 "worms" (including basically all other invertebrates, and even some protists and algae)) have been dismembered, renamed, or at least moved to different genera (e.g. the house sparrow went from Fringilla domestica to Passer domesticus).
