Mountain hare. Often called “blue hares” on the Isle of Man, these animals were originally native to the Island, but became extinct. However, in the 1950s and 60s a small population was re-introduced from Scotland and they have now spread successfully throughout most of the northern hills of the Island. With an average weight of 3 kg and 50 cm lenght, it has a grey-brown coat in summer and turns white in winter – only its ear tips stay black.
