EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the elusive scrub hare (Lepus saxatilis) in its natural habitat of southern Africa. The intricate details captured by photographer Peter Chadwick highlight the unique features of this remarkable creature. The scrub hare, known for its adaptability, thrives in rocky or stony terrains covered with grass and shrubs. Found primarily in Namibia and South Africa, it is a testament to the diverse wildlife that inhabits these regions. Its presence adds to the rich tapestry of fauna found within De Hoop Nature Reserve. In this image, we witness a single scrub hare amidst the vastness of the African veldt. Its ears stand tall, serving as both an alert system and a distinctive characteristic of this lagomorph species. As a herbivore, it plays an essential role in maintaining ecological balance within its ecosystem. Chadwick's photograph not only captures the essence of this South African mammal but also serves as a reminder of our planet's incredible biodiversity. It invites us to appreciate nature's wonders and encourages further exploration into zoology and biology.
