EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Intimate Moment: Iberian Hares in Love, Alentejo, Portugal. Witness the enchanting spectacle of nature as these two Iberian Hares (Lepus granatensis) engage in a tender moment of copulation in the picturesque landscape of Alentejo, Portugal. The Iberian Hare, a native European mammal, is a rare and captivating sight, with its distinctive features including long ears, powerful hind legs, and a sandy-colored coat. This intimate scene showcases the natural behavior of these hares, who are most active during the early morning and late afternoon. Mating season occurs in late winter and early spring, and pairs form temporary bonds for the purpose of reproduction. The female will give birth to a litter of up to six young, known as leverets, which are born precocial and able to move around shortly after birth. The Iberian Hare is an essential part of the rich biodiversity found in Alentejo, a region known for its vast plains, cork oak forests, and unique wildlife. This photograph, taken by renowned wildlife photographer Duncan Usher, captures the essence of the Iberian Hare's natural habitat and behavior, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of these elusive creatures.
