EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Cape hare (Lepus capensis) in its natural habitat. The image showcases the hare engaged in feeding, providing a glimpse into its nocturnal herbivorous lifestyle. Known for their widespread presence across Africa and their successful colonization of various regions in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, Cape hares are truly adaptable creatures. The photograph was taken at Witsands Nature Reserve in the Northern Cape province of South Africa. In this arid desert-like environment, where dryness prevails, these resilient hares thrive amidst sparse vegetation. Their diet primarily consists of grass and shrubs found within this harsh terrain. The intricate details captured by photographer Peter Chadwick highlight not only the beauty but also the biological significance of this leporid species. With its large ears and agile movements, the Cape hare is perfectly adapted to survive both predators and environmental challenges. As we admire this single moment frozen in time, we are reminded of nature's wonders that exist beyond our urbanized world. This photograph serves as a testament to wildlife's resilience against adversity and offers us an opportunity to appreciate Earth's diverse fauna up close.
