Love is a battlefield! European hare couple takes their relationship to the next level in Slovakia's boxing ring!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Dietmar Nill, we witness an extraordinary display of affection between two European hares. These furry lovebirds have decided to settle their differences through an unconventional method – boxing! With their hind legs poised for action and faces locked in determination, this male-female pair engages in a playful yet fierce battle amidst the picturesque Slovakian field. Their brown fur blends seamlessly with the surrounding camouflage, making it seem like they are dancing on air. Springtime brings out not only flowers but also intense mating behavior among wildlife, as seen here. The hares' full-length leap showcases their agility and grace while demonstrating that love can sometimes be a bit rough around the edges. Face-to-face and side-by-side, these lagomorphs show us that conflicts can arise even within relationships. However, instead of resorting to harsh words or silent treatment, they choose to express themselves physically – proving that communication comes in many forms! As vertebrates living harmoniously with nature, these mammals remind us of our own wild instincts hidden beneath our civilized exteriors. So let this incredible image serve as a reminder: when it comes to love and relationships, don't be afraid to jump into the ring every now and then!
